Description |
The personalized attention described will be developed mainly around the supervised project, and it is conceived as personal work time with the instructors of the course for the attention and follow-up of the project carried out by each of the working groups. The attendance of the students to these meetings is recommended. The specific form and times in which they will take place will be communicated throughout the course according to the work plan of the course, considering that the first meeting with the working groups will probably take place at the beginning of the second semester. However, during the course the students can use the tutorial time to clarify doubts and questions about the course.
The students with recognition of part-time dedication, according to the "Norm that regulates the regime of dedication to the study of the students of Degree in the UDC" (Arts. 3.b and 4.5) will carry out their activities with the attendance and participation in the dynamics that are included in the sections of "Planning" and "Personalized attention", through the work groups that will be assigned. The activity will be carried out according to the observations of assessment on the flexibility of attendance-participation and the requirements to pass the course. |

Assessment comments |
Assessment criteria Second opportunity
In
order to pass this course, both in the first and the second
opportunity, it will be necessary to obtain a minimum score of 4 points
out of 10 in the mixed objective/subjective test, the ICT practicals,
and the supervised project. If this requirement is not met, the final
qualification will be "Fail", even when the average of all the
activities that are part of the assessment will give a grade equal to or
greater than 5 points out of 10. In methodologies where a distinction is made between midterm and final
practical/exams, if a student passes the first-term practical/exam but
fails (with a grade below 4 out of 10) the second-term practical/exam,
they will only need to retake the second-term practical/exam in the second
opportunity, and the grade from the first-term practical/exam will be
retained. If a student who has released
or passed a part of the course (e.g., mid-term exam) does not manage to
pass the course as a whole on the official dates of the exams of the
first and second opportunity, his/her final grade will be "Fail". In the
following academic year, these students might keep the grade of those
tests that they have passed (as long as the grade obtained was equal to
or greater than 5 points out of 10), if they wish, and as long as they
inform the instructors of the course of their decision in the first two
weeks of classes. This condition will only apply in the following
academic year; from there onwards, the grades will not be kept. Early December call
If
there are students who want to take the early December call (Art. 19
"Standards for evaluation, review and claim of qualifications for
undergraduate and master's degree studies"), given that this course is
annual, those students will only have to take the mixed
objective/subjective test (40% of the grade), the ICT practicas (40% of
the grade) and the supervised project (20% of the grade). The supervised
project must be done individually. In order to pass the course, a
final grade equal to or greater than 5 points out of 10 must be
obtained, as long as the students have obtained a score equal to or
greater than 4 points out of 10 in each of the methodologies subjected
to assessment. No grade
The
students who do not attend the final exam that will take place on the
date established in the faculty's official exam calendar will be graded
as "No presentado" (i.e., no grade). This criterion will apply both in
the first and in the second assessment opportunity, as well as in the
early December call. Students with recognition of part-time dedication and academic exemption waiver
The
students with recognition of part-time dedication and academic
exemption waiver must inform the instructors of the course at the
beginning of the academic year, in order to establish a plan and
calendar of activities. The assessment system will be the following
one: mixed objective/subjective test (40%), ICT practicals (40%) and supervised projects (20%). The supervised project
must be done in group. Additional information
According to Article 11, section 4 b) of the "Reglamento disciplinar del estudiantado de la UDC", engaging in fraudulent behavior in any of the methodologies subject to assessment sections will result in a grade of "Fail (0)" for the final evaluation, both in the first and second opportunity, regardless of the opportunity in which the offense was committed. It is forbidden to access the examination room with any device allowing for data transmission and/or warehousing (e.g., mobile phones, smart watches...) when any of the assessment test is taking place.

Other comments |
It is recommended the revision and monitoring of the course through the virtual campus, where the materials used in class will uploaded and the activities to be carried out will be reported.
In view of the possibility of not being able to use the computer labs during the interactive sessions, the students must bring their laptops or electronic tablets when attending these classes, so as to be able to carry out the planned activities. Students must install the Office 365 package -if they do not have it, the university allows its free installation- because during the interactive sessions the Microsoft Excel spreadsheet software will be used.
The documents of the course will be delivered through the virtual classroom, in digital format; in case this is not possible, it is recommended to use recycled paper, double-sided documents, and to avoid the use of plastic materials. According to the different regulations applicable to university teaching, the gender perspective must be incorporated into this course (non-sexist language will be used, bibliography of authors of both sexes will be used...). Efforts will be made to identify and modify sexist prejudices and attitudes, and the environment will be influenced in order to modify them and promote values of respect and equality. The full integration of students who, for physical, sensory, mental or socio-cultural reasons, experience difficulties in gaining suitable, equal and beneficial access to university life will be encouraged. |
