Theory block

The theoretical component will provide the description of client and server technologies that allow the basic deployment of services. In the case of service technologies, special emphasis will be placed on development based on the use of MVC (model/view/controller) patterns and on the exchange of structured information. In addition, the components of a service-oriented architecture and the mechanisms to provide security in its deployment will be described. In terms of network management, a review of the SNMP framework will be carried out.

In addition, activities such as the analysis of current support tools for the deployment of web services (types of front-end and back-end frameworks and support technologies for the development of dynamic views and multimedia) will be incorporated to provide the ability to analyse existing services and technological novelties in science and technology.

Practical block

The practical block of the course consists of laboratory practices, and its mandatory.

The objective of the proposed practices is the achievement of the established competences, as well as the necessary skills for students to assimilate two basic aspects of this subject, on the one hand, the development and deployment of basic web services (front-end and back-end) with different technologies and, on the other hand, the configuration of these services so that they can offer secure access through the use of TLS and certificates.

In addition to the development of skills in the communication of information, ideas, problems and solutions in the field of engineering, they will have to respond to the results obtained as described in the methodology section, by means of interviews with the teacher and the delivery of reports after each practice. In addition, the results will be shared in the last session of each practice to encourage teamwork.

Practice1. Creation of a dynamic website with forms.

 Development of websites with sections accessible through a menu using HTML and JavaScript. Analysis of the use of client frameworks such as bootstrap.

Practice 2. Creation of a dynamic web service based on the use of Servlets and JSP.

Development of a web service that allows the dynamic exchange of content by making queries to a database and by designing the server application with a model view controller (MVC).

Practice 3. Creation of a dynamic web service based on the use of the Spring framework.

Development of a web service that allows the dynamic exchange of content by making queries to a database and by designing the server application with a model view controller (MVC) based on the use of Spring. Incorporation of session and cookies management.

Practice 4. Development and deployment of REST services with security.  

Configuration of servers that allow secure access. Analysis of the generation and use of TLS certificates.

  Seminars

Three seminars are planned in which mainly aspects that allow a better development of the practices:

• Seminar 1. Introduction to GitHub,
• Seminar 2. Spring. Framework for Web applications.
• Seminar 3.  Creation and use of certificates.

Throughout all the activities of the course, attention will be paid to two fundamental aspects in relation to inclusion and equity (SDG-4), which will also be part of the participation aspect evaluation:

• Promoting the use of inclusive language in both large and small group lectures, both written and oral, and attending to activities of various kinds (lectures and seminars where the student can be the instructor, practice with hardware and software, reports and tests with multiple choice questions) focused on being equitable with the different learning abilities of the student.
• Attendance, as well as active, respectful and responsible participation, either to raise doubts or to respond to the teacher's requests or questions, will be evaluated positively in its corresponding factor.

  Large group lectures

The methodology to be followed in large-group lectures will be a mixture of introductory activities, lectures and the presentation of theory and general examples in the classroom designated for the subject by the centre.

In addition to the presentation of the theoretical content of the course, the ability to collect and interpret data and handle complex concepts within Telecommunication Services will be developed and promoted, in order to make judgements that involve reflection on ethical and social issues.

Students must follow the lecturer's presentation with the material provided for this purpose through the PLATEA platform, whether notes or slides, which must be completed with their own notes and with the subsequent review of the basic and/or recommended bibliography.

The autonomous work of the student should focus on the revision of the concepts and theoretical aspects seen in class, exercises completion, as well as their study with the material provided by the lectures, the student's notes and bibliography.

Small group classes

Small group classes will be instrumented through laboratory work sessions focusing on the development of services using different technologies and frameworks as well as the analysis of the traffic generated and the possibilities for secure deployment. Prior to these sessions, students in pairs will have to complete some autonomous work in preparation for the practices supported by a script that will be published in PLATEA, which will include both the autonomous work activities and support information for carrying them out, as well as a detailed description of the tasks to perform in the laboratory and the associated information that must be recorded and shared with the lecturer during their final supervision.

Besides the initial practices preparation, the autonomous work will focus on the preparation of the documentation to submit, as well as on completing the unfinished work started in the laboratory. Special emphasis will be placed on the need for continuous training and to undertake this activity independently throughout their professional life, as well as on the ability to keep up to date with new developments in the field of Information Technology Engineering, with a more technical approach.

Group tutorials

Group tutorials will be used to resolve doubts, monitor and supervise work and exercises, as well as to attend and participate in the different seminars planned for the course, in addition to talks, conferences, workshops and/or seminars, designated by the lecturer, with the aim of completing and updating 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 course.

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 term the students can choose between two assessment modalities:  CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT or FINAL EXAM.

Continuous Assessment

The Continuous Assessment modality will be carried out according to the outcomes of the activities planned during the term and described in the section "Methodology and activities", in addition to those described in the section "Detailed description of the Continuous Assessment" that will be weighted by considering the aspects and percentages detailed in the above table.

In order to pass the course, students must obtain a grade equal to or higher than 5.0 out of 10 in the overall results, but with the condition of obtaining a grade equal to or higher than 4.0 in each of the individual aspects assessed.  Otherwise, in the case of failing any of these two conditions (a grade equal to or higher than 5.0 out of 10 in the overall results, or equal to or higher than 4.0 in any of the assessed aspects), the student must follow the Final Exam modality.

Final Exam

In the FINAL EXAM modality, an exam will be held on the day set for the course within the exam period, which will cover all the course contents, ensuring that students have acquired the competences and learning outcomes established for the course. The two parts of this written exam are weighed as follows:

• Part 1: Attendance and participation, theoretical concepts and completion of study cases or exercises assignments (S1, S2, and S3): 70%.
• Part 2: Laboratory/ computer practical work (S4): 30%.

The specific conditions, as well as the material and/or documentation that may be used in the Final Exam will be established by the lecturer.

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

Students who have passed the S4 aspect (laboratory/computer practical work) of the course, through CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT, with a grade equal to or higher than 5.0 out of 10, will not have to take Part 2 corresponding to this aspect in the exam. The same grade obtained in the CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT will be assigned to this part.

The parts passed at each exam attempt will be maintained until the end of the academic year.

Detailed Description of the Continuous Assessment System

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%)

In this section the competences CG3, C12 and C14 will be assessed.

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.

• Attendance will be assessed with up to 0.5 points. The instrument used to measure this will be attendance sheets, and as a criterion it is established that the maximum is achieved with an attendance of over 80%.
• The active participation of the student (up to 0.5) will be measured by active participation in the practical classes in which the student will be asked each week about the progress of their practices. 

S2. Theoretical concepts of the subject (30%)

In this section, competences C.12, C.14, C.7, CG.3, CG.6, TEL.2 and TEL.4 will be assessed.

 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%)

In this section, competences C.12, C.14, C.7, CG.3, CG.6, TEL.2 and TEL.4 will be assessed.

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 practices (30%)

In this section, competences C.12, C.14, C.7, CG.3, CG.6, CG.9, TEL.2 and TEL.4 will be assessed.

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.

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.
