OPTIONAL SUBJECT COMPETENCES:
CEOP8 - Knowledge on quality control and management
Expositive lessons: the teacher will explain the fundamental theoretical content of each topic and its importance in the context of the subject. The classes will be developed interactively with the students
Seminars: specific activities or works of the subject will be proposed to be solved individually or in groups. These activities will be presented by the students to their classmates and discussed in class.

Practices in the computer room: Practical computer sessions will be compulsory attendance. They will be dedicated to practical problems using different software. The student must attend these sessions according to the established schedule. The student must prepare a report of the practical lessons with the resolution of the problems set out by the lecturer using the software used in the practical sessions.
The training assessment of the students will be derived from the addition the continuous assessment grading and the exam grading.
The training assessment consist of the following items:
• Accomplishment and/or exposure of activities or works (individual or in group): 15%.

• Practical sessions report: 15%
Assessed skills: CB1, CB2, CB3, CB5, CG8 y CT2
• Final exam: 70%
Assessed skills: CB1, CB5 y CEOP8
The practical sessions in the computer room are compulsory. In addition, students must present a report of the practical sessions that will be evaluated, being essential to achieve a positive assessment of it, which requires reaching a minimum score of 1 point. If a positive evaluation is not obtained on the first opportunity, the student will not be able to pass the subject and must take the final exam on the second opportunity and, in addition, present a new report of the practice sessions which will requerie a positive evaluation to pass the practice (minimum score of 1 point).
In the final exam, both on the first and second opportunity, the student must achieve a minimum grade of 3.5 points. The evaluation of the memory and of the activities/works will increase the grade of the exam up to the final grade which will be at least 5 points to pass.
The practices in the computer room will be kept for 1 academic year, provided that the practical sessions inform has a positive assessment, and the qualification obtained will be maintained; Otherwise, they must repeat the practices and prepare a new report.
"In cases of fraudulent performance of exercises or tests, the provisions of the" Regulations for evaluating the academic performance of students and reviewing grades "will apply.
