The students, organised in groups of 2-3 people (according to the criterion of the professor), will make a public presentation describing the main decisions of design and details of implementation of the project proposed for groups C. Each member of the group must identify which part of the project has developed, showing its real-time functioning during the public exhibition. These presentations will take place during the first school week of January 2017.
The mark of each member (up to 1,5 points) will depend on the following criteria: (i) the particular level of knowledge about his/her contribution, (ii) its complexity, and (iii) his/her personal performance during the exhibition.

Projects
The students, organised in groups of 2-3 people (according to the
criterion of the professor), will develop a project about Digital TV broadcast or video streaming over IP. This project, that must be delivered during the first school week of January 2017, must include the code and the necessary documentation to justify the main design decisions and implementation details.
The mark of each member of the group (up to 2,5 points) will depend on the following criteria: (i) the quality of the documentation related to the part of the project this student has made, and (ii) the relevance and usefulness of the developed functionalities.

Practice in computer rooms
The students will deliver individually a report in which they will describe the solution proposed for a first practice in the laboratory, which will be about the main formats of coding adopted in the transmission of the multimedia information over telematic networks. In case to be necessary, the submission will include the software used in the development of the solution proposed. This first practice will be delivered during 6th week of the course.

Practice in computer rooms
Each student will deliver individually a report that describes properly the solution proposed for the second of the practical proposals in the laboratory, which will be about Digital TV broadcast. The proposed solutions must include the coding adopted in the development of the practice, as well as a rigorous discussion about design decisions and implementation details. The practice will be delivered during 10th week of the course.

Multiple choice tests
Each student will take --individually and without material of support-- an exam including multiple-choice tests and short-answer questions, which is aimed at assessing his level of understanding on the theoretical concepts explained in the subject. This exam will be held on the official date approved by the Board of School. Any type of support material is not allowed in this exam.

Other comments on the Evaluation
Lessons will be explained in Spanish, although the material about the subject will be available in English.
There exist two mechanisms for the assessment of students in this subject: continuous assessment (CA) and traditional assessment (TA). Regardless of the considered assessment mechanism, the pass mark for the subject is 5 out of 10.
The students must choose one of the possible mechanisms by bearing in mind the following conditions:
CA includes the 5 tests described above.
Students who sit CA must submit during the 6th week of the course their solution for the first practice proposed in the computer room (3rd test in the previous section). By the submission of this practice the student makes a commitment to be assessed via CA, thus renouncing the TA mechanism. In virtue of this commitment, the final remark of these students cannot be "Not taken".
Students who do not submit the first practice during the 6th week of the course renounce to the CA, thus being assessed through the TA mechanism. Note that it will not be possible to join the CA in the next tests.
CA tests will be carried out only in the dates defined by the professors. These CA tests cannot be repeated later.
The grades obtained in the CA and other exams and practical projects are only valid for the current academic year.
CA will be just considered in the first opportunity to pass the subject. In the second one only TA will be valid.
Students who sit CA in the first opportunity to pass the subjectwill be assessed as follows:
CA tests will be 100% of the final remark of the student. This assessment mechanism consists of five CA tests that have been previously described (a multiple-choice test, two practices in the computer room, delivery of code and documentation of the practical project proposed for group classes, and the public presentation of its main design and implementation decisions, including a real-time demo of its functioning). Note that the student makes a commitment to follow-up CA by submitting the first practice during the 6th week of the course, thus renouncing the TA mechanism.
Students who sit TA in the first opportunity to pass the subject will be assessed as follows:
A final exam that these students will take in the official date published at http://www.teleco.uvigo.es. This test will include short-answer questions and/or multiple-choice tests, along with problems and practical use cases to be analyzed and resolved. The weight of this exam in the final remark is 50%. Note that support materials are not allowed.
Submission of a practical project that will include software and documentation to justify design decisions and describe implementation details. The weight of this project in the final remark is 50%. Note that that each student must submit this project individually in a date to be confirmed between 9th and 13th January, 2017.
Students who did not pass the subject in the first opportunity, will have a second opportunity where they cannot be assessed via CA, so that only TA is valid. Therefore, these students must (i) take the final exam (in the official date published at http://www.teleco.uvigo.es) and (ii) submit individually the practical project (in the date published by professors at www.faitic.uvigo.es), as described above for the TA mechanism. The weight of each part in the final remark will be 50%.
