• Directed activities: in-person classroom and laboratory hours.
• Supervised activities: tutorials and academic follow-up.
• Autonomous activities: the remaining hours required to complete the total workload of the course.

The course will be assessed on a continuous basis through different forms of evidence of learning, combining individual tests, practical activities, and the development of an integrative Python project.

The assessment activities are as follows:

Individual test 1: a theoretical and practical test covering the first topics of the course. It accounts for 25% of the final grade.

Individual test 2: an integrative theoretical and practical test covering the content studied throughout the course. It accounts for 25% of the final grade.

Individual programming assignment: the analysis, implementation, and validation of a programming exercise in Python. It accounts for 15% of the final grade.

Integrative Python programming project: the development of a simple application integrating the main topics covered in the course, including structured and modular programming, object-oriented programming, data persistence, error handling, testing, and code documentation. It accounts for 35% of the final grade.

The final grade will be calculated using the following formula:

Final grade = 0.25 × Test 1 + 0.25 × Test 2 + 0.15 × Individual assignment + 0.35 × Integrative project

To pass the course, students must obtain a final grade of at least 5 out of 10. They must also achieve a minimum average grade of 4 out of 10 across the two individual tests. If this requirement is not met, the maximum final grade for the course will be 4.7.

The individual assignment and the project may include different stages, partial submissions, or validation activities. Teaching staff may request an explanation, a brief oral defence, or a modification of the code in order to verify authorship and the level of understanding. Activities not submitted by the established deadline will receive a grade of zero, except in duly justified cases.

The individual tests may be reassessed through a resit examination. The grade obtained will replace the grade of the corresponding test. The individual assignment and the integrative project cannot be reassessed, as they are developed and assessed progressively throughout the course.

The schedule of activities, submission deadlines, and test dates will be published on the Virtual Campus. The procedure and period for reviewing grades will be specified for each assessment activity.

Any irregularity that may affect the grading of an activity, including copying, plagiarism, impersonation, or the unauthorised use of artificial intelligence tools, will result in the application of the measures established in the UAB academic regulations. Where the use of such tools is permitted, students must declare it and be able to explain and defend the work submitted.
