PRACTICAL SESSIONS

There will be five practical tasks related to several topics explained in the theory classes. In each of them, the student will have to write a report solving a given problem.

4. COURSE DESCRIPTION AND TEACHING METHODOLOGY

Not required.

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

  1. Attendance and participation (5%)
  • Attendance will be controlled in the practical sessions and the active participation of the student will be taken into account. A minimum of 70% of attendance to theory classes is required.
  1. Theoretical concepts (90%)
  • Final exam with theory questions and problems. A mark over 0 will be required for the theory part of the exam. The weight of the theory will be 20% and the weight of the problems 80%.
  • The following learning results are assessed: 3
  • The following skills are assessed: CC3, CC4 and CG1
  1. Lab practical sessions / usage of ICT tools (5%)
  • Practical sessions related with the content of the theory classes will be given. The student will have to prepare a report for each of the practical tasks and the average mark of these reports must be equal or over 5 in order to pass the practical part of the subject. To pass this subject, the student must pass both, the final exam and the practical tasks. If a student does not pass the practical part, he will not be able to pass the subject in the Ordinary exam (Convocatoria Ordinaria) and will have to sit an exam on the practical part for the Extraordinary exam (Convocatoria Extraordinaria)
  • The following learning results are assessed: 3
  • The following skills are assessed: CC3, CC4 and CG1

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
