| Projects |
The students, organised in groups of 2-3 people (according to the criterion of the professor), will have to develop a project linked to the command of the digital TV by diffusion or to the TV on IP. This project must be delivered in a date to be confirmed between 8th and 17th January, 2015. The project must include the code and the necessary documentation to justify the decisions of design and the criteria considered in the development of the solution proposed.
This proof will evaluate the competitions CG3 and CG6. |

| Practice in computer rooms |
The students, organized in groups of 2 people, will submit a report about the solution proposed for the first practice in the computer room, which will be about coding formats adopted in the transmission of multimedia streams. If necessary, the submission will include also the software used in the development of the solution proposed. This first practice will be submitted during the 4th week of the course.
In these practices the skills CG6 and CE84 will be assessed. |

| Practice in computer rooms |
Each student will submit individually a report about the solution proposed for the second practice in the computer room. This practice will be about Digital TV broadcasting. The submissions will include the software used in the development of the solution, along with documentation to justify design decision and implementation details. This second practice will be submitted during the 8th week of the course.
In these practices the skills CE84, G6 and CG3 will be assessed. |

There exist two mechanisms for the assessment of students in this subject: continuous assessment (CA) and traditional assessment (TA). Regardless of the considered assessment mechanism, the pass mark for the subject is 5 out of 10. The students must choose one of the possible mechanisms by bearing in mind the following conditions: - CA includes the 5 tests described above.
- Students who sit CA must submit during the 4th week of the course their solution for the first practice proposed in the computer room (3rd test in the previous section). By the submission of this practice the student makes a commitment to be assessed via CA, thus renouncing the TA mechanism. In virtue of this commitment, these students will not be listed as "Not Present".
- Students who do not submit the first practice during the 4th week of the course renounce to the CA, thus being assessed through the TA mechanism. Note that it will not be possible to join the CA in the next tests.
- CA tests will be carried out only in the dates defined by the professors. These CA tests cannot be repeated later.
- The grades obtained in the CA and other exams and practical projects are only valid for the current academic year.
- CA will be just considered in the first opportunity to pass the subject. In the second one only TA will be valid.
Students who sit CA in the first opportunity to pass the subject will be assessed as follows: - CA tests will be 100% of the final remark of the student. This assessment mechanism consists of five CA tests that have been previously described (a multiple-choice test, two practices in the computer room, public presentation of the design of a practical project and the final implementation of this project). Note that the student makes a commitment to follow-up CA by submitting the first practice during the 4th week of the course, thus renouncing the TA mechanism.
Students who sit TA in the first opportunity to pass the subject will be assessed as follows: - A final exam that these students will take in the official date published at http://www.teleco.uvigo.es. This test will include short-answer questions and/or multiple-choice tests, along with problems and practical use cases to be analyzed and resolved. The weight of this exam in the final remark is 50%. Note that support materials are not allowed.
- Submission of a practical project that will include software and documentation to justify design decisions and describe implementation details. The weight of this project in the final remark is 50%. Note that that each student must submit this project individually in a date to be confirmed between 8th and 17th January, 2015.
Students who did not pass the subject in the first opportunity, will have a second opportunity where they cannot be assessed via CA, so that only TA is valid. Therefore, these students must (i) take the final exam (in the official date published at http://www.teleco.uvigo.es) and (ii) submit individually the practical project (in the date published by professors at www.faitic.uvigo.es), as described above for the TA mechanism. The weight of each part in the final remark will be 50%.
