Following the guidelines of the studies, two assessment systems will be offered to the students inscribed on this subject: Continuous assessment (the preferred method, academic activities are linked to this system) and exam-only assessment (not recommended). * Students who choose continuous assessment: Students will follow the continuous assessment system if they sign a document that will be delivered and collected when the collaborative work begins. Weighing: * Short answer tests of magister sessions. At the official date. Individual assesment. * Practices in computer rooms. The assessment will be done twofold: Reports describing the results obtained in the computer classroom, assessed in flexible groups of two, and short answer tests, with individual assesment. * Laboratory practices. The assessment will be done twofold: Practice preparation, with exam at the same session, assessed in small groups, and practice interpretation, at the last session, with individual assesment. Attendance to these laboratory practices is considered as compulsory. When group assessment, all group components will obtain the same mark, provided that their contribution in the compulsory attendance sessions is reasonably similar, according to professor's judgement. To ensure that all competencies are acquired, it will be necessary to jointly fulfill these two conditions to pass: 1) To obtain a grade equal to or greater than 4 (on a scale of 0 to 10), in the set of activities of each type. 2) To obtain an overall mark, calculated as the sum of the scores of activities weighted correspondingly, equal to or greater than 5 (on a scale of 0 to 10) In the event that only condition 2) is fulfilled, and not condition 1), the global mark in the subject will be 4. Missed quizzes and/or lab classes will not be rescheduled. * Students who choose for exam-only assessment: The possibility of a final examination will be provided to students who do not opt for the continuous assessment. This final exam will cover all the activities of the subject. Weighing: * Magister sessions. Individual assesment. (weight: 50%) * Practises in computer rooms. Individual assesment. (weight: 20%) * Laboratory practises. Individual assesment. (weight: 30%) To ensure that all competencies are acquired, it will be necessary to jointly fulfill these two conditions: 1) To obtain a grade equal to or greater than 4 (on a scale of 0 to 10), in each of the sections in which the test is divided. 2) To obtain an overall grade in the examination equal to or greater than 5 (on a scale of 0 to 10).

This final exam will be assessed as stated in the above section Students who choose for exam-only assessment. END OF PROGRAM CALL End of program calls will be assessed as stated in the above section Students who choose for exam-only assessment.
