The students can choose the method of evaluation, continuous or single.

The Continuous Evaluation (CE) consist of three previous tests plus a final exam:

• A midterm exam (ME) in the 5th week, which will cover the contents of lectures 1 to 4, and represents 15% of the final grade (FG)
• A midterm exam (ME) in the 9th week, which will cover the contents
  of lectures 5 to 8, and represents 15% of the final grade (FG)
• The development of a network program (NP). The deadline will be the last day of teaching in the lab. The compliance of prescriptions and the quality of the software will determine the qualification of this test. Depending on the number of students, teachers may allow this program to be done by couples of students but in that case both members of the couple must belong to the same group of laboratory and both of them must follow continuous assessment. The NP represents 20% of the final (NF)
• Participation in online activities (AO) that will be proposed along the course and in the activities of raising questions and answer them. The OA represents 10% of the final grade (NG). The assessment procedure of these tasks will permit, in any case, obtaining the highest rating for any student. The maximum score in this section (10% of the subject) will be asigned to any student that successfully delivers the 8 massive delivery tasks to be proposed along the course. Also the highest score will be assigned to those students who score equal to twice the average or median, the least of them. The remaining students will obtain a mark proportional to the minimum among: the equivalent to the delivery of 8 tasks score, twice the median and twice the average.
• A final exam (FE) covering all the contents, which has a weight of 40% of the final grade (FG) and where it is necessary to obtain 3.5 points out of 10 to pass the subject.

FG-CE = 0.15·ME + 0.15·ME + 0.1·OA + 0.2·NP + 0.4·FE

The Single Evaluation (SE) will consist of the same Final Exam at the end of the semester and the same Network Program (NP) proposed for CE. In this case, the program must be made mandatory and delivered individually.

The grade of NP in this case is simply APT (with a numeric value 1), if it meets the minimum requirements or NOT APT (with a numeric value 0) in the other case or if the NP is not delivered, in which case the grade will be 40% of the FE. That is,

FG-SE = (0.4 + 0.6·NP) · FE

It is considered that a student choose CE when presenting to any midterm exam. The students not doing this exam must opt for SE.

There will be a second evaluation with a new FE and it will also be allowed to deliver a new NP consisting of a modified version of the program of the first evaluation, and whose specifications will be published with at least 4 weeks with respect to the deadline of the Final Exam. Any students, regardless of having opted for CE or SE, will be able to do this FE and present a new NP. Those students that passed the subject in the first evaluation that want to attend the second one will have to present a signed letter asking the subject coordinator to assign them a "Not Presented" mark in the minutes of the first evaluation. The last day to present this letter is the day of the revision of the first evaluation exam.

For students who chose CE, these FE and NP represent an opportunity to improve the grade in these with respect to the fist evaluation, and so the calculation of the final grade considers the best grade obtained.

For students who chose to SE, the FE and the NP are considered joint and inseparable, that is, 

FG-SE = Max{(0.4 + 0.6·NP-1st) x FE-1st, (0.4 + 0.6·NP-2nd) · FE-2nd}

All students that assists to any of the written tests will be considered for evaluation in this subject.

The grades of all written tests, partial or final, programs and activities will only take effect in the academic year in which they are proposed.
