Methodologies
Methodologies Description
Laboratory practice The university virtual platform will be used as a basis to publish all the required material to do the laboratory practices. In the laboratory the students must deepen certain theoretical issues of the subject. In order to achieve this objective, there will be Java programming laboratories and laboratories based on network emulation/simulation tools.
Seminar Through the seminars (TGRs) we will deepen certain issues of the subject, both theoretical and practical, in a more personalized way, with a more specific treatment and solving student's doubts and matters individually.
Objective test At the end of the four-month period there will be an exam where the student must prove his knowledge of the subject.
Guest lecture / keynote speech The university virtual platform will be used as a basis to publish all the required material to follow the lectures. During the lectures the theoretical concepts of the subject will be presented, encouraging the student participation.

Personalized attention
Methodologies
Laboratory practice
Seminar
Description
The personalized attention for laboratory practices and seminars is essential for an adequate subject development for the student. Moreover, the students are recommended to attend tutorials as a support method.
From the teacher perspective, the personalized attention will allow to detect possible imbalances in the subject methodology and improve the quality in continuously.

Assessment
Methodologies Competencies Description Qualification
Laboratory practice A17 B1 C3 The laboratory practices done by the students throughout the course will be evaluated.
The laboratory practices grade can not be recovered in the second opportunity nor in the December call. 		25
Seminar A17 B3 C2 Related with the seminars, a series of works will be proposed to the student, that will be evaluated.
The seminars grade can not be recovered in the second opportunity nor in the December call. 		5
Objective test A17 B1 B3 At the end of the four-month period there will be an exam where the student must prove his knowledge of the subject.
In case of obtaining less than a 4 (out of 10) in the exam, the subject will receive a failing grade and the final qualification will be the obtained in the exam.
In other case, the final grade is calculated from the grades of each part, proportionally, and must be equal to or greater than 5 (out of 10) to pass the subject. 		70
 
Assessment comments
The laboratory practices and the seminars are part of the subject continuous evaluation as therefore can not be recovered in the second opportunity nor in the December call.
The part-time students will be helped in the timetable election for laboratories and seminars.
