A1. Lectures in large groups.

They are based on the explanation of the theoretical concepts of the subject through lectures, alternating with the explanation of examples and problems. Students will be provided with teaching material through the Learning Management System (LMS) platform to follow the classes. This material must be completed by the student with their own class notes and consultations in the bibliographic resources. In addition, students will be provided with the ability to keep up to date with new developments in science and technology, especially in this type of subject, so closely linked to such a dynamic environment as telecommunications, and specifically Telematics Engineering, emphasising the need for continuous training throughout their professional lives. Likewise, the ability to collect and interpret data and handle complex concepts within Telematics Engineering will be developed and promoted, in order to make judgements that involve reflection on ethical and social issues.

A2. Practical groups classes

They take place in the laboratory, and are based on the teacher's explanation of the practical activities in the laboratory and the students' performance of them. The student will be provided with teaching material and the script of the reports to be developed through the LMS platform.

As regards autonomous work, this will focus on the preparation of the documentation to be handed in for each practical, as well as completing the work started in the laboratory and which could not be finished in the corresponding session. Likewise, collaboration and teamwork will be encouraged through the design of the practicals themselves.

A3. Group Tutorials.

Group tutorials will be used to give seminars on different topics related to the subject, to clarify doubts raised by the students, as well as to attend and participate in different seminars, talks, conferences, workshops and/or conferences, designated by the teacher, with the aim of completing the training and obtaining general, transversal and/or specific competences defined for this activity, such as the value of continuous training, entrepreneurship or the review of technological innovations in the subject.

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

At the end of the four-month period, the students must choose between two assessment methods: : CONTINUOUS EVALUATION or FINAL EXAM. 

CONTINUOUS EVALUATION

This assessment method is organised according to the activities described in the previous table.

In order to pass the course, the student must obtain a grade equal to or higher than 5.0 out of 10 in the total computation of the evaluated aspects, as long as he/she has a grade equal to or higher than 4.0 in each of these aspects.

FINAL EXAM EVALUATION

In the single exam mode, there will be an exam that will cover all the contents of the subject, guaranteeing that the student has acquired the competences and learning outcomes established for the subject.

 This exam will take place during the Examination period on a date established by the centre. The weight to be assigned to each of its two parts will be:

- Attendance and participation, theoretical concepts of the subject and completion of assignments, cases or exercises (S1, S2 and S3): 70%.

 - Laboratory/computer practicals (S4): 30%.

Those students who have passed the laboratory/computer practicals part of the subject (S4) through CONTINUOUS assessment with a grade equal to or higher than 5.0 out of 10, will not have to take the part corresponding to this aspect in the exam, applying the same grade obtained in the CONTINUOUS assessment to this part.

 In order to pass the course, the student must obtain a grade equal to or higher than 5.0 out of 10 in each of the two parts of this test.

 The parts passed in each session will be maintained until the end of the course.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE CONTINUOUS EVALUATION

For those students whose assessment is carried out on a continuous basis, this will be based on the monitoring and carrying out of the activities included in the four categories presented in the Assessment System, which make up the total of the assessable elements of the subject:

• S1, Attendance and active participation (10%).
• S2, Theoretical concepts (30%).
• S3, Exercises, cases and exercise (30%).
• S4, Laboratory/computer practice (30%).

Each of these blocks will be detailed in the following subsections:

S1. Attendance and active participation (10%)

 Attendance and participation will be taken into account by means of attendance control to practical classes, active participation in classes, and attendance to seminars or other activities organised by the Department of Telecommunication Engineering, E.P.S. of Linares or University of Jaén and recommended by the lecturer in charge of the subject.

   S2. Theoretical concepts of the subject (30%)

 The mark will be divided into two written tests throughout the term, and certain exercises associated with the practices of the subject.

S3. Completion of assignments, cases studies and exercises (30%)

The mark will be divided between proposals for exercises associated with the practical exercises (20%) and questions in the two written tests throughout the term on these exercises (10%).

S4. Laboratory and computer practicals (30%)

 The mark will be evaluated according to the implementation of the code of applications and services according to the practice scripts, as well as the correct delivery according to the required format and the capacity of oral communication of the ideas, problems and solutions related to the developed codes. The weight of each practical test will depend on the number of sessions required to perform it.

Those aspects successfully completed with a mark higher or equal to 5.0 will be considered passed during that academic year.

With this system will be evaluated the following learning skills: CG.3, CG.4, CG.9

Teaching methodology and learning activities

Schedule

The schedule can vary mainly due to the change from multi-modal scenario to the online one.

Evaluation system

There are no changes in the evaluation format (weights of each section) or in what is specified in the detailed evaluation.

Since the evaluation of the subject is continuous, there will only be an exam in the event that the student opts for the Single Test Evaluation, which is summarized in the following tables:

Ordinary call

Extraordinary call

Resources

Given that the attendance in the large group lectures and in the classes in practice groups is 100%, no exceptional resources are foreseen for them.

Resources

Since all the teaching, either in the exposition classes in large groups or in the classes in practice groups, be taught online, the following resources will need to be used:

Common telematic resources (teachers and students):

- PC equipment or similar.

- Videoconference system or virtual classroom, such as Google Meet or BigBlueButton.

- Use of interactive tools: screen sharing to use comments as a virtual whiteboard in PDF presentations.

- Use of the teaching platform of the University of Jaén: messaging, forums, tasks, activities and means of evaluation.
