Detailed description:

A global assessment of the subject will be held, covered by article 13 of the Academic System and Regulations of Student Assessment at the University of Jaen, dividing the score in the following sections:

-Theory (up to 4 points): writting test. You have to reach at least 2 points to have a chance to add other scores

- Practices (up to 4 points): practices development at computer lab. You have to reach at least 2 points to have a chance to add other scores

- Participation on questionnaires, exercises solving and publication on the forum of this course: up to 2 points

In order to pass you have to reach at least 2 points at theory, 2 at practises and at least 5 points in the sum of the all evaluable sections.

In order to pass the extraordinary call, it is mandatory to pass the practical part during the ordinary call.

In the extraordinary call, only section Theory (written exam) will be evaluated, giving option to obtain up to 4 points. To ensure the option to obtain the maximum possible score in this call (according to the Academic System and Regulations of Student Assessment at the University of Jaen, approved by the Council of Government No. 33, of 21.11.2013), the score obtained in the remaining evaluable sections (practices and participation) during the last ordinary call will be added to the score obtained in the written exam for this extraordinary call
