The development of large group and small group lectures will be focused on promoting quality teaching by giving priority to activities that foster inclusive and equitable learning (SDG-4).

A1. Lectures with big group of students.

They are based on the explanation of the theory concepts, exercises and practical problems of the course. The students will be provided with teaching materials through the Virtual Teaching platform, that must be completed by the student with its own lectures notes and research through bibliography. 

The autonomous work of the student will have to be focused on the revision and study of theoretical concepts as well as the exercises and practical problems.

A2. Lectures with practical groups.

 They are developed in the lab, and they are based on the explanation of the practical units in the lab and their execution by the students. The students will be provided with teaching materials and the practical guides through the Virtual Teaching platform. 

 Regarding the autonomous work of the student, its work will be focused on the elaboration of the documentation to be delivered related to the practical units, and to finish at home the pending work of the laboratory. 

A3. Tutorials.

The tutorials will be used by the students for the resolution of doubts.

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 semester, the student has to choose between two methods of evaluation: 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.

DETAILS OF THE EVALUATION

The continuous evaluation is based on the next aspects:

• S1, Attendance and active participation (10%)
• S2, Theoretical concepts (30%)
• S3, Exercises, cases and works (30%)
• S4, Laboratory practising (30%)

S1. Attendance and active participation (10%)

In this aspect, the CB9,CG3,CG4,CG8,CT3 competences are evaluated. A positive evaluation leads to the achievement of these competences or the learning results 27,28,29,30,31.

The attendance will be taken into account within the laboratory activities, the active participation in the lectures, attendance to evaluation activities as well as to recommended activities such as seminars. The participation in all the evaluation activities is mandatory in order to pass S1 aspect. The unjustified non-attendance to the laboratory activities will be evaluated in a negative way within the S1 aspect, as well as the non-attendance to recommended activities.

S2. Theoretical concepts (30%)

In this aspect, the CB6, CB7, CB8, CB9, CB10, CG1, CG2, CG3, CG4, CG5, CG6, CG7, CG8, CG9, CG10, CT1, CT2, CT3, CT4, CT5, CT6, CT7, CE4, CE6, CE8 competences are evaluated. A positive evaluation leads to the achievement of these competences or the learning results 27,28,29,30,31.

This aspect is evaluated with two written evaluations within the teaching period.

S3. Exercises, cases and works (30%)

In this aspect, the CB6, CB7, CB8, CB9, CB10, CG4, CG5, CG6, CG7, CG8, CG9, CG10, CT1, CT2, CT3, CT4, CT5, CT6, CT7, CE4, CE6, CE8 competences are evaluated. A positive evaluation leads to the achievement of these  competences or the learning results 27,28,29,30,31.

This aspect is evaluated with written evaluations within the teaching period. 

S4. Laboratory practising (30%)

In this aspect, the CB6, CB7, CB8, CB9, CB10, CG3, CG4, CG5, CG6, CG7, CG8, CG9, CG10, CT1, CT2, CT3, CT4, CT5, CT6, CT7, CE4, CE6, CE8 competencies are evaluated. A positive evaluation leads to the achievement of these competences or the learning results 27,28,29,30,31.

The students will write technical reports for the practical activities along the semester. The laboratory practising will be evaluated with these reports together with an exam of the programming skills learned in Practical 3. It is mandatory to pass this exam in order to pass S4 aspect.

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 Final Exam 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.

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 telematics resources (teachers and students):

- PC equipment or similar.

- Software for development of practical Units.

- 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.
