C1 | CMECES1 That students have demonstrated possession and understanding of knowledge in an area of study that is based on general secondary education, and is usually found at a level that, although supported by advanced textbooks, also includes some aspects that involve knowledge from the cutting edge of their field of study |
C4 | CMECES4 That students can transmit information, ideas, problems and solutions to both a specialised and non-specialised audience |
C5 | CMECES5 That students have developed those learning skills necessary to undertake further studies with a high degree of autonomy |
Learning aims |
Competences | |||
1. The students understand the main concepts of discrete mathematics and logics, and they apply them in solving mathematical problems appearing in engineerings. | A18117 |

Assessment |
Description | Qualification | ||
Seminars | 5% | ||
Mixed tests | Two written exams, where problems are proposed to be solved by applying the theoretical contents studied in the classroom. Aspects to be evaluated, among others: the correct use of the mathematical and logical language, the rigorous explanation of all steps of the solutions, as well as the numerical results obtained. Each exam is worth 45% of the total grade, and may be re-evaluated in the second call. | 90% | |
Others | A continuous evaluation of the work carried out by the student will be carried out through the evaluation of the following activities: a series of guided activities, tests and exercises, to be performed and delivered during class time, or through the moodle platform of the subject, in the periods indicated. In the case of non-contact activities, the in-person explanation of the submitted works may be required, as well as proposing to make some modification. Works and assignments are not re-evaluated in the second call. | 10% | |
Other comments and second call | |||
In all tests: the use of mobile phones and other electronic devices is strictly forbidden, and will result in grade zero. Only the material specifically allowed by the instructors may be used. Second call. Students may choose between these two options: - maintain/preserve the grades obtained in all works and assignments (10%) and repeat one or both written tests.
If either of the parts is not repeated in the second call, the
grade corresponding to that part obtained in the first call will be
maintained in the second call. - remove/withdraw all works and assigments from the calculation of the final grade, in this case each of the written tests will be worth 50%. |
