Methodologies

Methodologies	Description
Guest lecture / keynote speech	The contents of the course will be developed both theoretically and practical in Keynote sessions.
Mixed objective/subjective test	The objective test will be divided into two parts, a theoretical part and a practical one. This test will try to check if the student has acquired the skills set as target in this subject.
Laboratory practice	Study and use of a programming language (C language) that allows to resolve various engineering problems through computer solutions.
Supervised projects	In the keynote sessions and laboratory practices will be raised practical problems of greater complexity to be solved as independent student work, both individually and in students groups. In that resolution the participation of students is encouraged as a self-learning tool valuing their effort and their results aimed to the final evaluation of the subject.

Description

The student will have tutorials to clarify their doubts about the themes exposed in classes, about resolution of laboratory exercises and coursework or on any matter-related scope and approach.

Assessment

Methodologies	Competencies	Description	Qualification
Supervised projects	A3 B1 B2 B4 B5 B6 C1 C4 C5	In the keynote sessions and laboratory practices will be raised practical problems of greater complexity to be solved as independent student work, both individually and in students groups. In that resolution the participation of students is encouraged as a self-learning tool valuing their effort and their results with a view to the final evaluation of the subject. Its realization and presentation correct and on time to the teacher will be required to pass the course. These practices will have a maximum value of 40 % of the final grade.	40
Mixed objective/subjective test	A3 B1 B2 B5 B6 C1	The objective test will be divided into two parts, a theoretical part and a practical one. This test will try to check if the student has acquired the skills set as target in this subject. It will be necessary to obtain a minimal note of 1 point in each part (max 2 points each part) and to be submitted all practices correctly and on time in order to pass the course.	40
Laboratory practice	A3 B1 B2 B4 B5 B6 C1 C4 C5	Study and use of a programming language (C language) that allows to resolve various engineering problems through computer solutions. Its realization and presentation correct and on time to the teacher will be required to pass the course. These practices will have a maximum value of 20 % of the final grade.	20

Assessment comments
Students with academic exemption, as they are not required to attend activities in which attendance may be required, also present and defend the obligatory works and practices before the teacher in face-to-face or virtual tutorials, in the same periods as the rest of the students . The qualification of all students, both in the first and in the second opportunity, will be based on the need to obtain at least a minimum mark of 1 point in the theoretical part and another point in the practical part of the exam (maximum of 2 points in each part, with a total of 4 points) and having correctly presented and defended no time before the teacher all the obligatory practices and / or assignments in order to pass the course.

Other comments

Given that the subject is taught in the second semester of the first year of Naval and Oceanic Engineering, prior knowledge necessary to pursue this course consist of the knowledge of the subjects of Informatics taught in Scientific and technological secondary education options.

If the student comes from another secondary education option is especially recommended its study to acquire a minimum knowledge bases.
