Description Qualification
Short answer tests
Students will conduct individually, without supporting material, a knowledge test. This test will consist of a written exam in which questions relating to theoretical concepts covered in the keynote sessions arise.

Reports / memories of practice
Students must individually submit a report for each of the practical exercises proposed by the faculty. The report will qualitatively describe the adopted solution for every problem, justifying, when relevant, its use over other alternatives and will detail the developed code.
30
Jobs and projects
Students must submit a project proposal according to a predetermined model. This proposal will be presented in class and analyzed and valued by classmates (peer review) and by the lecturer according to a predefined rubric. The rubric will be made available to students before the start of the project.

Other comments on the Evaluation
<p>Two evaluation systems will be offered to the students in this course: Continuous Evaluation and Single Evaluation (at the end of the semester). The student must choose, before the date of realization of the first planned assessment test, the mode that will continue. Once the choice is made, the student may not change the system.</p><div>Regardless of the evaluation system chosen, the pass mark for the course is 5 out of 10.
