The subject is composed of a theoretical part and a practical part. Each one of them is valued with 5 points, having to obtain at least 2,5 points in each part to pass the subject.

Following the guidelines of the career two systems of evaluation will be offered to the students following this subject: continuous assessment (EC) and exam-only assessment (EU).

EC:

- The student follows the continuous assessment from the moment he delivers a practice.

- The theoretical part is composed of a final exam (with a value of 5 points). This final exam will be the same for all the students, independently that they have opted or not by the EC. Additionally, the students following the EC can receive until 1 extra point from the activities realized in class and/or through the forums of the subject. Half of that extra grade will be added to the theory grade in any case. The other half, only if the theoretical part is passed. Finally, the theory part grade will be adjusted to 5 if the result is higher.

The final exam consists of two parts, ET1 and ET2, both of them optional. Both score over 5, and the grade of the final exam (GRADE) is computed as follows: if ET1 is passed, GRADE = 2,5 + ET2/2; if not, GRADE = ET2. In any case, it is possible an adjustment later described.

- The practical part is composed of three practices.

- The practice 1 is valued with 0,5 points, will be delivered along the month of October, on pending date. The student will have to correct the errors found, moment in which he will obtain the indicated grade.

- The practice 2 is valued with 2 points and can be delivered until a week before the exam. After delivery, the student will have to correct the errors identified by the professors until the practice work properly, with dead-line until a week before the exam. Once obtained the approval of the professors, the student will receive the indicated grade.

The correction of the errors identified by teachers in practices 1 and 2, depending on number and importance, could lead to a penalty in the final grade of the subject.

- The third practice is valued 2,5 points and can be delivered from the approval of the practice 2, to the end of classes. The practice will be evaluated as delivered, without possibility of correction of the errors observed.

- Practical exam: The day of the exam, a practical test will be done for practices 2 and 3, consisting in a modification of the original functions, to check that the student master the delivered code. This practical test will have a result of 1 (modifications work) or 0,25 (don't work) for each practice independently. 

The grade of the practical part will be the addition of the grades of the practice 1 and the other practices multiplied by the result of their corresponding test.

EU: 

The students that have not opted by the EC will have to attend the theoretical exam and deliver the practices 1 and 2 before finishing the classes (with the modifications specified). The students will have to correct the errors identified by the professors until obtaining approval (with the aforementioned penalty). Then, they can deliver practice 3, always before the end of the classes. Besides, they will have to pass the practical test.

Passing the subject: Both in EC and in EU, to pass the subject the student will have to obtain at least 2,5 points in each part. In the case of not obtaining the minimum grade in any of the parts, the grade obtained adding both parts will be reduced to 4 points in the case to be above such grade.

In the case that the resultant grade is less than 2,5 points, the student will have to deliver the practices of the second chance and pass the practical test.

Second call: 

The student will have to fulfill the same theoretical exam as the first call, deliver the specified practices (published in March), and perform the described practical test.

In case some part was passed in the first call, the grade is preserved and it is not necessary to repeat the described activities of such part.

End-of-program call: 

It will have the same characteristics than the second call. The practices could suffer modifications or incorporate additional functionalities that will be communicated along July.

Initially, none of the grades obtained in both parts in the first and second calls are preserved for this call. Once the practices of this call have been published, the teaching staff will decide and report in a timely manner on whether or not the grades obtained in the previous calls are kept.

Plagiarism is regarded as serious dishonest behavior. If any form of plagiarism is detected in any of the tests or exams, the final grade will be FAIL (0), and the incident will be reported to the corresponding academic authorities for prosecution.
