(*) The evaluation calendar and grading rules will be approved before the start of the course.
The mark of the course is obtained from the ratings of continuous assessment and their corresponding laboratories and/or classroom computers. Continuous assessment is evaluated by exercises (PR), a directed project work (TD) and assessment tests (EX). Evaluation tests consist on issues associated to concepts of the course, learning objectives with regard to knowledge or understanding, and a set of application exercises. The final mark is estimated as: 0.2*PR+0.4*EX+0.4*TD
Failure to perform a laboratory or continuous assessment activity in the scheduled period will result in a mark of zero in that activity.
The course consists of 3 hours per week of classes in the classroom. These hours are devoted to lectures where the teacher explains the concepts and theory, presents examples and exercises with greater interaction with students. The remaining weekly hours are dedicated to practice in laboratories. It uses material support in the form of detailed syllabus through campus ATENEA: content, programming and evaluation activities directed learning and literature. Although most of the sessions will be given in the language indicated, sessions supported by other occasional guest experts may be held in other languages.
