The contents of this subject are organized in groups of different and sometimes distant thematic. It is essential to have a broad vision of the web technology landscape, while at the same time having the knowledge that is acquired when a student deepens its knowledge in one topic, simply because of the direct experience that this brings. That is why the subject combines these two differentiated methodologies, the first one designed to provide broad knowledge (base), while the second one is aimed at enlightening students in a specific technology (deepening).

The base part will be taught through theoretical classes and problems, which will be evaluated accordingly.

The deepening part will be carried out by students through formative activities, both theoretically with the realization of one or more papers, as well as applied with the realization of a practical project.

Annotation: within the schedule set by the centre or degree programme, 15 minutes of one class will be reserved for students to evaluate their lecturers and their courses or modules through questionnaires.

Evaluation Process and Activities

Evaluation is divided into two main parts, detailed below along with their weight in the final grade:

A - Problems (25%)

• A1 - Classroom-tutored problems (5%)
• A2 - Individual practical exercises on computer (20%)

B - Practical Project (75%)

• B1 - Tutored self-learning exercises (5%)
• B2 - Activities developed in tutored sessions (labs) (35%)
• B3 - Individual theoretical-practical test on computer (practical exam) (35%)

The course will be considered passed if the final grade, resulting from the weighted average of the individual scores, is equal to or greater than 5 out of 10.

That is:

0.05 × A1 + 0.2 × A2 + 0.05 × B1 + 0.35 × B2 + 0.35 × B3 ≥ 5

To calculate the weighted average, the following minimum conditions must be met:

A1 > 0, B1 > 0, B2 ≥ 5, and B3 ≥ 5

If B2 consists of two independent lab. exercises, both must be passed separately to calculate the average. If B2 results from averaging several individual exercises, B3 may consist of multiple parts, each corresponding to a lab. exercise. Each part of B3 must be passed individually. Any failed part of B3 will result in a score of 0 for the corresponding part of B2. Additionally, all B2 exercices must be submitted in order to participate in B3.

The knowledge-check problems (A2), classroom problems (A1), and the individual practical test (B3) must be done individually. Self-learning exercises (B1) and labs. (B2) are done in pairs.

Retakes

Students may request to retake the practical project (B2) and the individual practical test (B3), and other parts, provided they attended at least 80% of sessions. A1, A2, and B1 cannot be retaken. New grades will replace the previous ones, unless the new score is lower.

According to academic regulations (Article 261 ter. 2), to be eligible for retakes, students must have been assessed on activities that together count for at least 67% of the course. Therefore:

B3 cannot be retaken if the student did not participate in B1, B2, or A1.

Plagiarism and Other Irregularities

Any irregularity that affects the evaluation outcome will result in a grade of 0 for that activity and cannot be retaken. If the activity is required to pass the course, the course will be failed with no opportunity to recover. Irregularities include:

• Total or partial copying of assignments, reports, etc.
• Letting others copy your work.
• Submitting group work not fully completed by group members.
• Submitting third-party material as your own, including translations or adaptations.
• Having communication devices during individual assessments.

In case of plagiarism, the maximum grade will be 3.0. For group activities, the penalty will apply to the entire group, even if some members were unaware of the misconduct.

In summary: copying, letting others copy, or plagiarism equals a fail with a grade lower than 3.5, making it impossible to pass via compensation.

Special Grades (Honors and not evaluable)

A maximum of X honours distinctions may be awarded, where:

X = max(1, floor(number of students / 20)), based on the following criteria:

• Only students with a final grade of 9 or higher are eligible.
• Priority is given to those with the highest grades.

Final Grades and Failing the Course

If any block (A o r B) does not reach the minimum required grade, the final grade will be the lower of 4.5 and the weighted average. A grade of “Not Evaluable” will be given to students who do not participate in any evaluation activity. In case of irregularities, the final grade will be the lower of 3.0 and the weighted average.

Review of Grades

Regular grade review begins at least 24 hours after grades are published, or on the same day if previously announced. If the student does not attend the review session, no further review will be allowed.

Validation of Previous Grades

Students may request to validate individual grades from previous editions of the same course if they can demonstrate they achieved the learning outcomes. B2 will not be validated if the B3 grade does not support it. A2 will not be validated. In cases of plagiarism, no part of the course may be validated.

Attendance to laboratory

Attendance to laboratory sessions is mandatory, except for students opting for single assessment. If attendance is below 80% (fewer than 10 sessions), the student will receive a “Not Assessable” grade for the practical part and cannot resit.

Dates and Communication

Assessment and submission dates will be published on the course forum and may be adjusted in case of incidents. All updates will be communicated via the forum:

https://cv.uab.cat, unless otherwise indicated.

Communication with the teaching staff will take place in class or via virtual campus forums.

Materials

The course is 100% practical. Theory classes will take place in a regular classroom, and students must bring a laptop. The university will provide one to those who do not have access. Problem classes will be held in computer room B (Q1/1019).

Single Evaluation

Although the course allows for single evaluation, it is not recommended. Theoretical and practical concepts in front-end and back-end technologies require continuous work for proper assimilation. It is a semester-long effort where theory, problems, and practicals combine to build knowledge incrementally. Even students with prior experience may find some concepts challenging due to the depth covered.

Assessment activities and their weights are the same as in continuous assessment. A2 is not assessable in single assessment format.

Submissions:

• A1 and B1: due the day of the B3 exam at 9h
• B2: due during the B2 retake week and won't be retakable.

Rescheduling Requests

• Evaluatable activity A2 cannot be rescheduled.
• Contact the theory teaching staff to reschedule activity A1.
• Contact the laboratory/practical teaching staff to reschedule evaluatable activities B1 and B2.
• For evaluatable activity B3, there is a "Request for rescheduling evaluation activities" protocol in place, according to the cases specified in the School of Engineering's assessment criteria and instructions.

Restricted Use of AI

Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools is allowed only for support tasks such as searching for information or explanations for practical activities.

Students must clearly identify the parts generated using AI, specify the tools used, and explain how these tools influenced the process and outcome. Lack of transparency will be considered academic dishonesty and may result in partial or total penalties, or more serious sanctions in severe cases.
