Face-to-face activities consist of lectures, problem-solving classes, and computer-based practical sessions. Efforts will be made to coordinate the content so that all three types of activities effectively contribute to the acquisition of knowledge and skills. Lectures and problem sessions will mainly be expository, while encouraging participation through moments of reflection and the joint resolution of small tasks. Practical sessions will primarily involve independent work.

Every effort will be made to avoid sexist language and any kind of discriminatory attitude toward any group in class. Both teaching staff and students should strive to be involved, remain vigilant, and report it if necessary.

The Moodle classroom on the Virtual Campus will be the communication tool between teaching staff and students. All questions, whether about the operation of the course or its content, that may be of interest to other classmates should be raised in class or through the General Forum available in the Moodle classroom. Issues that are not of interest to others will be handled individually or by email, always sent from the institutional .@autonoma.cat address.

The use of artificial intelligence tools is allowed. It should be noted that there is no guarantee that the assistance they provide is correct or useful, and responsibility always lies with the person who uses them, both in learning concepts and in submitting assignments.

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.

Assessment Criteria

• Two midterm exams covering both theory and problem-solving: 85% of the final grade
• Practical exam: 15% of the final grade

To pass the course, students must:

• Attain an average of 5.0 out of 10 on the theory and problem-solving exams, with no individual score below 4.0
• Achieve an overall average of 5.0 out of 10, which will constitute the final course grade

Grades that do not meet these requirements may be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.

Each exam will have a resit opportunity (\"recuperation\" as per UAB’s official terminology). Attending the resit automatically invalidates the original exam grade. Practical exams and submissions are not eligible for resit.

A student will be considered eligible for assessment if they have submitted assignments or completed exams totaling at least 50% of the course weight. Otherwise, they will appear on the transcript as “Not Assessable.”

Honors distinctions (Matrícula d’Honor) will not consider grades from

Single Assessment Option

Students who opt for the single assessment modality will complete one final exam and submit the required assignments on the date of the second midterm exam. Specific details will be arranged individually with the students concerned.
