Classroom hours, within the context of guided learning activities, consist of:

Lectures:

The instructor explains the basic concepts of the subject, providing examples and applications, and tailored to the mathematical background of the class. Attendance and participation in the classroom are taken into account. Also, students are expected to devote some out-of-class time to homework and readings in order to complement lectures.

Problem Sets:

Through exercices, students will improve their understanding of the lecture material and practice some problem-solving techniques.

Computer Labs :

Students learn a programming language, and how to use it to formulate and solve course exercices with the help of a computer.

Transversal Skills

Peer collaboration in Problem-Set as well as in Computer-Lab meetings, where joint discussion of course exercises takes place, helps to improve cooperative learning and teamwork skills(T03). The instructor provides the class with tools for both analysis and synthesis, which contribute to the enhancing of thinking habits (T01), communication, and individual creativity(T04,T06). The grading of the computer-lab and problem-set assignments should thus reflect the student's ability to communicate and engage in teamwork, in addition to personal attitude and study habits.

Teaching will be offered on campus or in an on-campus and remote hybrid format depending on the number of students per group and the size of the rooms at 50% capacity.

This subject does not offer a unique evaluation option

Course grade will be calculated as the weighted average of the scores obtained in the graded tasks. The percentage breakdown is the following:

Computer-Lab Assignments: 20% (3 assignments)

Midterm Exam: 30% (1 exam)

Final Exam: 50% (1 exam)

Exam Retake Option: There is only one possible retake for the two exams (80%). To be eligible to retake the final exam, you should have participated in graded tasks adding up to a minimum percentage of 70%.

If you fail the course, your grade will be the lowest value between 4.5 and the weighted average of all graded-task scores.

Graded-task schedule:

Graded-task dates(assingments and midterm exams) will be announced on Virtual Campus UAB and may be subject to change. Always log into Virtual Campus to check for schedule changes. Virtual Campus is the standard information sharing environment among students and teaching staff.

School policy on cheating :

Any dishonest behavior in order to get a grade higher than your own work merits will be considered cheating and will receive a zero score on the assignment or exam on which you cheated. Therefore, copying anothers's test, or allowing others to copy your work will result in failing the task with a zero score. Neither a make-up assignment nor a retake exam will be granted, and this will lead to failing the whole course.
