This subject is organized in two parts: Theory and Practice.

The final grade for the course (FG) is the harmonic average (HA) of both parts, TG (Theory Grade) and PG (Practice Grade). Namely

FG = HA(TG,PG) = 2*TG*PG/(TG+PG)

If the two terms (TG and PG in this case) are zero, the harmonic average is zero (0).

To pass the course, FG must be greater than or equal to 5.

Both parts can be evaluated by Continuous Evaluation (CE) or by Final Exam (FE).

The FE will consist of Theory and Practice, and will take place in date and time officially established.

EC will consist of the tasks described in this guide, and are not recoverable, ie, if a student cannot comply within the stipulated period the teacher is not required to repeat them.

If one of the subject parts is passed in the December examinations, its grade will be kept for the July examinations where the student only must be evaluated of the other part. If the student has followed CE in part that remains, he/she will keep the grades.

The CE tasks grades are only valid for the current academic course, being discarded in case the student fails the course.

THEORY

The Theory part is divided into two subparts: T1 and T2. T1 covers approximately 66% of the syllabus, while T2 the 100% of the syllabus.

The Theory grade is the harmonic average of the grades of these two subparts, ie:

TG = HA(T1,T2) = 2*T1*T2/(T1+T2)

*CONTINUOUS EVALUATION (CE):

In CE in Theory, the T1 subpart consists of two exercises (CE1 and CE2) and T2 subpart of one exercise. They will be done approximately in the 5th week, 10th week and the final exam (ie, the third exercise is part of the Review Final) .

The syllabus is about 33% of the total for the first exercise (CE1), 66% for the second (CE2)  and 100% for the third (T2).

The note of the first subpart is T1 = 0.35 * CE1 + 0.65 * CE2

If the student has followed CE but has failed the subject, the T1 and T2 grades will be kept for July examinations.

*SEMESTER FINAL EXAM

Any student, whether or not has followed the CE, can take the Final Exam. If the student followed the CE, he/she may discard the results obtained there, and take the Final Exam . In this case, the valid grade will be the FE, canceling the grades that had been obtained previously in the CE.

This Final Exam will have two exercises (T1 and T2) to be done in 90 minutes. Students who have not passed CE will have to present to the entire Final Exam (T1 and T2).

* RECOVERY IN JULY

The Theory Final Exam has the same structure as in the Semester Final Exam and will last 90 minutes. If CE was not followed, the student will have to do both T1 and T2, regardless of the grades in each exercise in December. If EC was followed, the student can do T1 and/or T2, canceling the grades that he/she had previously obtained.

PRACTICE

*CONTINUOUS EVALUATION:

The CE of Practice consists of 3 exercises P1, P2 and P3 . P1 will be about Simplez, P2 about Basic Algoritmez (over 60% of the syllabus) and P3 about Full Algoritmez (100% of the syllabus). The exercises will be done in the laboratory and will last approximately 1 hour. P1 will be around the 4th week, P2 around the 8th P2 and P3 around the last week .

The Practice CE grade is the weighted average of these three exercises: PG = 0.20*P1 + 0.35*P2 + 0.45*P3

*SEMESTER FINAL EXAM

Any student, whether or not has followed the CE, can take the Final Exam. If the student followed the CE, he/she may discard the results obtained there, and take the Final Exam . In this case, the valid grade will be the FE, canceling the grades that had been obtained previously in the CE.

This Final Exam will have one exercise about Algoritmez to be done in the laboratory in 1 hour (approximately).

In this case, the Practice Grade is the grade of the Final Exam.

* RECOVERY IN JULY

In July, the student will have a Final Exam similar to the Semester Final Exam.

GENERAL ISSUES

ACTS- For the CE to be considered in Acts, the student will have do exercise P1 in Practice or EC1 in Theory. Any student following the CE who does not do any of these exercises (P1 or EC1):

His/her grade will not be registered in the acts and, for all purposes, will be treated as those presented for the first time, without having studied before.

He/she could not take the other CE exercises, as they will not be considered.

Note: Prior to an exercise or an exam, the date and procedure for the score review will be published sufficiently in advance.
