Teaching Methodology

Taught module delivery: thirteen weeks of teaching, coursework and self-study. Apart from the 3 hours per week in the classroom, self-study must last an average of 4.5 hours per week. At least a half of the hours devoted to the course will be carried out in small work groups (computer laboratory, evaluations, etc.) 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.

Grading Rules

The evaluation calendar and grading rules will be approved before the start of the course.

The mark of the course is obtained as follows: Mark = Q*0.2 + A*0.3 + P*0.5 where Q is the mark of the in-class written exam A is the average of the marks of the three assignments P is the mark of the final project

Test Rules

Failure to perform a laboratory or continuous assessment activity in the scheduled period will result in a mark of zero in that activity.
