In the content of this subject there is a theoretical content that will be explained in the theory classroom (whole group) and a practical content that will be explained in the computer classroom (reduced groups). Microsoft Excel will be used for the application of the practical content.

During the explanation of the theory, we will use a projector.

The final mark consists of two different items:

• Final exam (theory):  40%
• Final exam (practice):  60%

The theory final exam will consist of a test exam. This part has a weight of 40% on the final mark.

The Practice final exam will consist of one or several practical exercises. This part has a weight of 60% on the final mark.

To pass the final exam, it will be necessary that, both in Theory and Practice, the student gets at least 30% of the punctuation. If this is not the case, the final mark will be a maximum of 4,00.

This assessment system will be the same in all the exams (Ordinary 1, Extraordinary 2 and Extraordinary 1 of the following academic year).
