The elements that are part of the evaluation of the subject are the following: - Questionnaires: along the course the student will fill 3 questionnaires that will contribute 10% to the final mark (each one). - Laboratory practice: each student will have to perform a set of practical tasks in the laboratory that will contribute 35% to the final mark. - Group tutored work: each student will have to do a work in group, about one among several possible topics, that will contribute 25% (20% work done + 5% presentation) to the final mark shared by all group members. Nevertheless, the teachers will follow the work done by every group member, and they will also perform a peer review of the work done. In the case that a student would perform clearly lower than his/her mates, he/she will be rated individually (see note*). - Class participation: students will discuss in class about expositions done by the professor, and this contributes up to a 5% to the final mark.
- Forum participation: students should interact individually in the forum of the subject to achieve up to a 5% to the final mark. To achieve such percentage the student should provide at least two relevant contributions. Therefore, we have: Final Mark = Questionnaires (3*x10% = 30%) + Lab. practices (35%) + Tutored work (25%) + Class participation (5%) + Forum (5%) = 100%. The students need to pass each of the questionnaires, the practical tasks and the tutored work with at least 4 points over 10 to calculate the average final mark. If any of the marks is below 4, then the final mark will never be higher than 4,9 points over 10 (not passed). The schedule of the midterm/intermediate exams will be approved in the Comisión Académica de Grado (CAG) and will be available at the beginning of each academic semester. Plagiarism is regarded as serious dishonest behaviour. 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. Following the degree guidelines, the students that will follow this course can choose between two possibilities: continuous assessment and global assessment at the end of the semester. Continuous assessment: the student follows the continuous assessment since the moment he/she fulfils two questionnaires. From that moment we assume that he/she will participate in the subject, independently of the participation in the global assessment. Global assessment: if the continuous assessment is not performed, then the student will have to perform a final exam that substitutes the questionnaires done along the course, in addition to provide the practical tasks and the equivalent work to be done as part of the continuous assessment. Extraordinary Call: the student will have to perform the parts not passed previously. End-of-program Call: the student will have to perform a final exam that substitutes the questionnaires done along the course, in addition to provide the practical tasks and the equivalent work to be done as part of the continuous assessment. This subject will be evaluated in English, but students have the possibility to interact in Spanish with the teachers at any time. The questionnaires and tasks, proposed and performed along the module, are only valid for the current course.
*NOTE: Multidisciplinar Group Tutored Work (optional)
In this subject, and as a part of an innovation project at UVIGO, some students have the possibility to join a multidisciplinary group (MDG) with other three subjects: (1) Video Games: design and development, 4th year, Degree in Audiovisual Communication. (2) Multimedia Technology and Computer graphics, 4th year, Degree in Telecommunication Engineering Technologies, Sound and Image module. (3) Intelligent systems programming, 4th year, Degree in Telecommunication Engineering Technologies, Telematics module. The activity is coordinated by teachers of the Teaching Innovation Group: ComTecArt (Communication, Technology and Art in Virtual Environments).
The activities and tasks to be performed by the students of this subject in the MDG will be related with using artificial intelligent techniques in videogames. The students that would join this multidisciplinary tutored work will not participate in the ordinary groups C. Besides, each MDG will only join one student from this subject, so he/she will be rated individually in such case.
The participation in the MDG is optional, and if there are more request than available positions; then those students will be ranked and selected according to the global grade mark, provided by the Escola de Enxeñaría de Telecomunicación Secretary.
There will be group work sessions on Wednesday mornings, alternating between the Campus of Vigo and Pontevedra. The University will provide free round trip transportation from the Escola de Enxeñaría de Telecomunicación or the Facultad de Ciencias Sociais e a Comunicación, respectively.
