Two different methods of evaluation will be offered to the students: continuous evaluation and evaluation at the end of the course.

Students opting for the continuous evaluation method must take two intermediate tasks: a midterm exam around week 8 of the course (20% of the final grade) and a project involving the configuration of a basic IP PBX around week 14 of the course (20% of the final grade), together with a final exam at the end of the course (60% of the final grade). If the score of the final exam is less than 3.5, then the final grade of the subject will be the score obtained in this final exam. The score of the project will take into account both the features and performance of the IP PBX configured (70%) and the responses to a practical exam that must be solved individually (30%). Both intermediate tasks are not recoverable and will be only valid for the current course.

Students can also opt for being evaluated by means of just a final exam at the end of the course. The final grade of the subject will be, in this case, just the score obtained in this exam.

It will be considered that a student opts for the continuous evaluation method if he takes the midterm exam or the project proposed. The final exam will contain some additional questions for those students that have opted by the evaluation at the end of the course.

If plagiarism is detected in any of the tasks proposed (exams or project), the involved students will be failed with a final grade of 0.

Those students that have not passed the subject in first call will have to take an extra written exam in July. Those students that opted for the continuous evaluation method will be able to choose between evaluation by means of just the final exam or to keep continuous evaluation. In the latter case they would keep the scores obtained in the intermediate tasks (midterm exam and project) and would only have to take the final exam as the last task. Students must indicate which method they choose at the final exam.
