| Methodologies |
| Methodologies | Description |
| Guest lecture / keynote speech | The teacher will elaborate on the contents and give guidance on how to use and apply these concepts in the laboratory |
| Laboratory practice | Practical application of the concepts exposed in the magisterial sessions. The students will install several different unix systems (System V, BSD. POSIX ...) on the same virtualized machine, having to coexist the different types of partitions and the different boot loaders and will carry out the different administration tasks of the S.O. on each of the installed systems |
| Supervised projects | Preparation and exposition in class, by the students, of complementary topics to the syllabus of the subject |
| Objective test | Written exam to evaluate the degree of assimilation of the concepts exposed in the master sessions |
| Personalized attention |

| Methodologies | Competencies | Description | Qualification |
| Objective test | A53 A55 B9 C1 C2 C3 C4 C5 C6 C7 C8 | Written exam to assess the degree of assimilation of the concepts exposed in the master sessions | 40 |
| Supervised projects | A53 A55 B9 C1 C2 C3 C4 C5 C6 C7 C8 | Both their contents as well the expositions in class will be evaluated. Students not taking part in the class presentations, will perform peer to peer evaluations of the expositions and must prove the adquisition of the bascic concepts used in them |

| Laboratory practice | A53 A55 B9 C1 C2 C3 C4 C5 C6 C7 C8 | The delivery of the lab assignments in the pre-established deadline will be valued as well as its correct operation. Furthermore, as part of the practice evaluation process, an individual practice test will be carried out, without the use of any additional material, on a machine similar to the ones used during the lab assignments PART TIME STUDENTS: A meeting will be held at the beginning of the course to assess how the evaluation will be carried out based on its availability |
