In order to pass the subject, the student must obtain a minimum mark of 5 out of 10 in the result of combining the marks of the objective test and the ICT practices.

It should be noted that the objective test may take the form of partial exams or a final one. Regardless of the form, in order to pass the subject, a minimum grade of 1.4 points out of 4 is established for the objective test. Otherwise, the student will not be able to pass the subject regardless of the grade obtained in the ICT practicals.

The grade on the basis of the partial exams will correspond to the arithmetical average of the exams. In the event of failing to achieve the minimum grade, students can always take the final exam. Those students who, despite achieving the minimum mark, choose to sit the final exam will lose the mark corresponding to the mid-term exams, regardless of whether the new mark is lower or not.

With regard to the practicals, repeated absence from the follow-up meetings without due justification will result in a penalty in the final mark of the students who commit them and may result in the loss of a full mark for one of the practicals or all of them if they do not actively participate in the development of the practicals.

Particular assessment and attendance criteria for part-time students:

Practicals and assignments must be handed in on the same date and in the same way as for full-time students.
The timetable for the defence will be flexible in order to facilitate the defence and delivery of the work.

July exam and early call:

In the event of having to incur these calls, the student will have to take the objective test exam, the criteria for obtaining the total mark being those indicated at the beginning of this section.
In the case of the internship marks, the mark obtained will be maintained, although students will have the opportunity to hand in new projects, both 2D and 3D, but this time done individually. These projects must be of a quality and complexity proportionally similar to those presented at the first opportunity in order to recover the internship mark. Those students who choose to hand in new projects will forfeit the mark previously obtained regardless of whether the new grade is lower.

Plagiarism:

In any submission in which plagiarism is detected, the submission will be assessed with a zero. Plagiarism in the objective test will be sanctioned in accordance with current university regulations.

Methodologies	Description
Guest lecture / keynote speech	Once a week, at the time designated by the centre, a synchronous session will be held using the telematic tools provided by the centre. Based on a Flip Teaching model, during these sessions, teachers will review or make special emphasis on the more complex concepts that they have previously selected from written material and/or explanatory videos. The expectation is that the students will plant the problems or doubts that arise from the review of the material previously provided. The objective of these sessions is that the students acquire the basic knowledge that later will allow them to undertake with guarantees and to understand better the work carried out in the practices.
Objective test	The course will be developed by the modality of continuous evaluation. For this purpose, a series of partial tests and/or essays will be established in order to evaluate the acquisition of the competences. These partial tests will have a mixed format with a test part, but also with essay questions or problems. In these the students must demonstrate the knowledge acquired both of theoretical concepts, as well as demonstrate or their knowledge of how to apply them. If the students do not pass the subject with the partial tests, they will have a mixed test at the end of the four-month period that will cover all the contents.
ICT practicals	The practicum takes the shape of two small projects consisting of developing two completely original videogames in which the students apply all the concepts and techniques explained during the theory classes. For these projects, students will be organized in different teams in which each student is expected to take the role of the team leader during a part of the development. Beginning with the development of a short story that serves as the basis for the games, students will develop a first version of the game in 2D. This will allow them to explore concepts such as user interaction, methodologies adapted to this type of product, AI implementation, etc. Once the 2D part is done, the students will develop a second 3D version. In this part, they will attend to the difficulties inherent in 3D, such as the difficulty in determining collisions.

Methodologies	Competencies	Description	Qualification
Objective test	A43 A44 B1 C6	A set of partial tests of the subject, which will take the form of classroom quizzes. These are mixed tests with multiple choice questions and some short essay questions in order that the students can demonstrate the assimilation of the concepts. If the students do not pass the subject with the partial tests, they will have a final theoretical exam with the same characteristics as the partial tests on the total content of the subject.	40
ICT practicals	A43 A44 B1 B9	Development of a work consisting of two projects corresponding to the two video games to be developed. For the 2D, the PyGame platform will be used as a support engine in the development. In 3D, we will use one of the most common platforms, Unity3D. In addition to the video games, the quality of the documentation and the methodology applied in the development will also be evaluated.	60
