Methodologies Description
Supervised projects Realization, by the student individually or collectively, of projects in which the learning of each topic of the subject is put into practice. The teacher will supervise the evolution of the work.
Objective test Realization of an individual writing test where there will be multiple-choice questions, open questions of development and/or short answer questions.

Most of the sessions will be taught in the traditional way (exposition of contents). The flipped classroom criterion will be valued for certain contents (subjects will be left for revision by the student and the classroom will be dedicated to the resolution of doubts or verification of the concepts acquired).
ICT practicals Performance, by the student individually or collectively, of works that require the use of tools or programs in which to apply the concepts previously exposed.

Assessment comments

In order to pass the subject, the student must obtain a minimum grade of 5 out of 10 in the result of combining the different evaluable items. In order to average the grades, the student must obtain a minimum grade of 3.5 out of 10 in the objective test. If this minimum grade is not obtained, the grade of the subject will be the one corresponding to the grade of the objective test.

The ICT practices will be of obligatory delivery to be able to opt for a passing grade in the subject.

Students with part-time enrollment and academic dispensation:

Indicate to the professor the situation of this type of students. The delivery of the work/practices must be done on the dates established for all students.

Second opportunity and advanced convocation:

In the second opportunity the evaluation of the active participation in the Objective test will be maintained, not being able to return the obtain grade since it results from the continuous evaluation of the work during the subject. The student can retake the exam of the mixed test or deliver again the tutored work or practices through ICT, being the criteria to obtain the total grade those indicated at the beginning of this section. The student will be able to hand in the tutored work, whether or not he/she will hand it in beforehand, and the grade of the work handed in will replace the one he/she has previously obtained in this section. The student may take the parts of the objective test that he/she considers necessary to reach the minimum grade. The grade obtained will replace the previous one, but will be maintained for the parts of the exam not taken.
