4. COURSE DESCRIPTION AND TEACHING METHODOLOGY

The methodology consists of the following activities:

  • Lectures: presentation of theoretical concepts and problem-solving exercises and doubts. 
  • Practical sessions:  scheduling algorithms and applications for solving geometric problems. 

Students with special educational needs should contact the Student Attention Service (Servicio de Atención y Ayudas al Estudiante) in order to receive the appropriate academic support

5. ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY

In response to the provisions of art. 13 of the Regulation of Academic Regime and Evaluation of the students of the University of Jaén, the evaluation of the subject will be global.

The subject is exceeded if the total count of all parts detailed in the Evaluation System has a value equal to or greater than 5 points.

Furthermore, the class attendance must be at least 50% of the total number of theoretical and practical classes. The theoretical exam must score at least 4 points, computing 30% of the final score. This exam evaluates competences CC6R and CC7R and learning results R3 y R4.

The practical exercises could be done in pairs, except any of them which should be performed individually. The evaluation of the practical part will be performed by submission and defense of the work with the score of the 60% of the subject. This part evaluates competences CC6R and CC7R, as well as CB2R, CB3R and CB5R. The learning results are R3, R4 and R5.

Throughout the course a set of of theoretical and theoretical-practical exercises are proposed,  counting 5% of the total grade. This part evaluates competences CC6R and CC7R and learning results R3, R4 and R5.

The regular attendance and class participation counted another 5%.

7. VIRTUAL / CLASSROOM TEACHING SCENARIO

1) TEACHING METHODOLOGY AND TRAINING ACTIVITIES.

The activities that cannot be carried out in person will be carried out in a blended format with rotating assistance, and the use of videoconference systems, provided that the capacity and infrastructure of the space assigned for teaching the subject allow it.

The polytechnic school may vary the attendance percentage depending on the number of students and the capacity of the classroom / laboratory according to sanitary measures. In the case of less than 100% attendance, there will be periodic rotation of students as determined by this school.

2) EVALUATION SYSTEM

The evaluation system and instruments will be the same as for the face-to-face modality, replacing the face-to-face tests with similar tests developed through the use of the online teaching platform or others that the University allows or enables, provided that the identity of the student is guaranteed.

3) RESOURCES.

The videoconference systems that are available in the spaces that are enabled for teaching will be used, as well as the teaching platform of the University. Activities that cannot be carried out in person will be carried out through synchronous and / or asynchronous activities carried out through the virtual teaching platform.

8. VIRTUAL TEACHING SCENARIO

1) TEACHING METHODOLOGY AND TRAINING ACTIVITIES.

Activities that cannot be carried out in person will be carried out through synchronous and / or asynchronous activities carried out through the virtual teaching platform and the mechanisms that the University allows or enables.

2) EVALUATION SYSTEM.

DATA PROTECTION CLAUSE (on line exams)

Institution in charge of data processing: Universidad de Jaén, Campus Las Lagunillas, s/n, 23071 Jaén

Data Protection Delegate: dpo@ujaen.es

Purpose: In accordance with the Universities Law and other national and regional regulations in force, carrying out exams and assessment tests corresponding to the courses students are registered in. In order to avoid frauds while sitting the exam, the exam will be answered using a videoconference system, being able the academic staff of the University of Jaén to compare and contrast the image of the person who is answering the exam with the student's photographic files. Likewise, in order to provide the exam with evidential content for revisions or claims, in accordance with current regulation frameworks, the exam will be recorded and stored.

Legitimacy: compliance with legal obligations (Universities Law) and other national and regional regulations currently in force.

Addressees: service providers who are the owners of the platforms where the exams are carried out and with whom the University of Jaén has signed the corresponding data access contracts.

Storage periods: those established in current in force regulations. In the specific case of exam videoconference recordings, not before the examination records and transcripts are closed or the exam can still be reviewed or challenged.

Rights: you can exercise your right of access, amendment, cancellation, opposition, suppression, limitation and portability by sending a letter to the postal or electronic address indicated above. In the event that you consider that your rights have been violated, you may submit a complaint to the Andalusian Council for Transparency and Data Protection www.ctpdandalucia.es
