Methodologies
Methodologies Description
Guest lecture / keynote speech In which the theoretical content of the syllabus will be exposed, including illustrative examples and with the support of audiovisual media. The student will have the support material (notes, copies of the slides, articles, etc.) beforehand and the teacher will promote an active attitude, recommending the previous reading of the topics to be discussed each day in class, as well as asking questions that allow to clarify concrete aspects and leaving open questions for the reflection of the student.
The magisterial ideas will be complemented with the realization of conferences in which an external expert will be brought to discuss some topic in greater depth.
ICT practicals In which the student will see the operation in practice of some of the theoretical contents seen in the lectures. In these practices, the student will use different tools (network simulators, monitoring tools, etc.) proposed by the professor, which will allow them to deepen and consolidate their knowledge about different aspects of network management.
The practices will be presented in a way that facilitates their semi-face-to-face realization to those students who can not attend the face-to-face sessions. In addition to the basic practices that all students will have to do, additional practices that interested students can do optionally will be proposed.
Objective test At the end of the exposition of the subject, a test type will be carried out that will allow to assess the theoretical knowledge and practical skills acquired during the evolution of the course

Personalized attention
Methodologies
ICT practicals
Description
The personalized attention during the practices will serve to guide and verify the work that the students are doing according to the indications that are provided to them, depending on the concrete practice in question.

To carry out the supervised works, the teachers will provide the necessary initial indications, bibliography for consultation and will monitor the progress made by the student, in order to offer the relevant guidelines in each case, in order to ensure the quality of the works according to the criteria that are indicated.

All the teachers of the subject will also propose a tutorial schedule in which the students will be able to answer any questions related to the development of the same. Students will be advised to attend tutorials as a fundamental part of learning support.

It will facilitate the completion of practices and attention in the tutoring of work to students who, because they are enrolled part-time can not attend practical sessions or officially established tutoring sessions.

Assessment
Methodologies Competencies Description Qualification
Objective test B3 C6 At the end of the exposition of the subject, an objective test type test will be carried out on the treated contents, both in the theoretical sessions and in the practical ones. 50
ICT practicals B1 B3 C3 The practices of the subject will consist of different activities related to Network Management. An exam of the practices will be carried out to assess the level of understanding and the work developed by the student 50
 
Assessment comments

It will be necessary to obtain at least 50% of the grade to pass the subject. In addition to pass the subject, it will be necessary (at any opportunity) that the student obtains a minimum of 40% of the final mark in the objective test, essay questions and in the practices (ICT lab sessions and report). Otherwise, the maximum grade that can be obtained is 4.5.

FIRST CALL - ORDINARY CALL

The evaluation of the laboratory practices will be carried out by means of the realization of four practical reports related to the laboratory exercises and will have a total weight of 20% of the final mark. There will also be a practical exam that will have a weight of 30% on the final grade It will be necessary to obtain a minimum of 40% in practices (ICT lab sessions and exam) to pass the subject.

40% of the grade of the first call can be achieved by conducting an objective test (exam), which may contain questions related to the concepts developed in theory classes, practices, tutorials and basic bibliographic matherials.

10% of the remaining grade of the first call can be achieved by conducting an essay questions, which may contain questions related to the concepts developed in theory classes, practices, tutorials and basic bibliographic matherials.

SECOND CALL - EXTRAORDINARY CALL

The students may retain the mark obtained in the practices or the objective test of the first opportunity provided they have obtained an assessment equal to or greater than 50% of their weight in the final grade.

The evaluation of the practices in the second call will be carried out by means of the practical test in the laboratory.

40% of the grade of the first call can be achieved by conducting an objective test (exam), which may contain questions related to the concepts developed in theory classes, practices, tutorials and basic bibliographic matherials.

10% of the remaining grade of the first call can be achieved by conducting an essay questions, which may contain questions related to the concepts developed in theory classes, practices, tutorials and basic bibliographic matherials.

END-OF-PROGRAM CALL

The evaluation of the practices will be carried out by means of a practical exam in the laboratory, at the end of the objective test of the extraordinary call.

40% of the grade of the first call can be achieved by conducting an objective test (exam), which may contain questions related to the concepts developed in theory classes, practices, tutorials and basic bibliographic matherials.

10% of the remaining grade of the first call can be achieved by conducting an essay questions, which may contain questions related to the concepts developed in theory classes, practices, tutorials and basic bibliographic matherials.

STUDENTS WITH PARTIAL REGISTRATION OR WITH ACADEMIC DISPENSE OF TEACHING EXEMPTION: They should contact professors of the subject to enable the completion of tasks outside the usual organization of the subject.

The fraudulent execution of tests or assessment activities, once proven, will directly involve the qualification of "fail" in the call in which it is committed: the student will be qualified with "fail" (numerical grade 0) in the corresponding call of the academic year, both if the offense is committed in the first opportunity as in the second. For this, your qualification will be modified in the first opportunity report, if necessary
