The most effective way to learn programming is through hands-on practice and completing numerous exercises. Consequently, this subject demands active engagement from students. Each week, students will participate in practical sessions that require advance preparation. While teamwork and collaborative exchange are encouraged, the ultimate learning process remains individual, emphasizing independent student activity. This individual effort complements and enriches the work initiated during guided course sessions. Supervised activities, including regulated tutorials and occasional consultations throughout the course, are also crucial for developing the necessary skills.

All relevant materials, such as statements, theory class slides, exercise lists, and other subject-related information, will be accessible via the Virtual Campus classroom. Additionally, this platform will serve as a hub for subject-related announcements.

Model 2 – Restricted Use of AI:

“For this course, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies is permitted exclusively for support tasks, such as bibliographic or information search, text correction or translations, and in activities and practical work, but NOT in assessments.

The student must clearly identify which parts have been generated using this technology, specify the tools used, and include a critical reflection on how these have influenced the process and the final result of the activity.

Lack of transparency in the use of AI in this evaluable activity will be considered a breach of academic honesty and may lead to a partial or total penalty in the activity’s grade, or more severe sanctions in serious cases.”

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.

a) Processes and scheduled evaluation activities

The calendar of assessment activities will be given on the first day of the subject and will be made public through of the Virtual Campus and the web of the School of Engineering, in the section of examinations.

The final quali of the subject will be obtained based on the valuations of the different evidences, taking into account that each one of the parts has a different specific weight:

• PART 1: 20% Exam1, 25% Exam2 and 15% Problems
• PART 2: 40% Project

The grade of the subject will be calculated from the weighted sum of PART1 and PART1, as long as PART1 has a grade equal to or greater than 5.

The Problems grade includes attendance and participation in problem classes and the delivery of the proposed exercises.

In order to pass PART 1, you must score at least a 4 on Exam 2. If this is not the case, the final grade for PART 1 will be the grade for Exam 2.

b) Retake process

There will be a re-evaluation test that will include all the topics covered in the course. This test will allow you to retake the two exams in PART 1.

There is no recovery from PART 2.

c) Special grades

A student who performs at least one of the components of the continuous evaluation can no longer be considered as NOT Evaluable.

If a student does not reach the minimum grade of 5 in any of the two parts (PART1 and / or PART2) and for this reason does not pass the subject, the final grade will be a maximum of 4.5, that is, equal to the value of the weighted average if it is less than 4.5 or 4.5 if it is higher.

In order to pass the course with honors, the final grade must be equal or higher to 9 points. Because the number of students with this distinction can not exceed 5% of the number of students enrolled in the course, it is given to whoever has the highest final marks. In case of a tie, it will be takeninto account the resolutions of the partial tests.

d) Procedure for the review of qualifications

For the assessment activity, a place, date and time of review will be indicated in which the student will be able to review the activity with the teacher. It will also be possible to request the revision of the exam by sending an e-mail to the person in charge of the subject sent within the first week after the publication of the notes.

e) Evaluation of repeating students

No note is saved from one course to the next. Repeating students follow the same assessment standards as any other student.

f) Consequences of irregularities committed by students

Notwithstanding other disciplinary measures deemed appropriate, and in accordance with the academic regulations in force,assessment activities will receive a 0 score whenever a student commits academic irregularities that may alter such assessment (copying, plagiarism, cheating, letting someone copy, etc.) The assessment activities qualified in this way and by this procedure will not be recoverable. If you need to pass any of these assessment activities to pass the subject, this subject will be failed directly, without opportunity to recover it in the same course.
