Competences

  • CB7-That students know how to apply the knowledge acquired and their ability to solve problems in new or unfamiliar environments within broader contexts related to their area of ??study

Assessment and Grading

Assessment activities:

Description of the activity Assessment Activity % Remediable subject
Theoretical lectures There is an exam about the theoretical contents of the course 20 No
Lab sessions Different lab assignments done during the course. Evaluation of the work done (code), obtained results and report. 50 Yes
Segmentation project Final project assignment. Evaluation of the work done (code), obtained results and report. 30 Yes

Grading

The evaluation is based on three different activities: 50% from lab sessios P1 + 30% from the final project + 20% from an exam.

Evaluation Criteria:
From Labs/Project: 70% strategy and results + 30% document

If fraudulent actions are detected in any type of academic activity (use of information without authorization, use of false information, use of unauthorized devices, impersonation, total or partial plagiarism, purchase and sale of tests, practices and assignments, etc) the students involved will automatically fail the subject. Depending on the type of fraudulent act, the School Management will initiate the appropriate procedures in accordance with Law 3/2022 of February 24 on University Coexistence (https://www.boe.es/eli/es/l/2022/02/24/3)

Specific criteria for the "No show" grade:
NP will be considered when the students do not submit any of the evaluation activities (Labs, Final project, or exam)

Single Assessment:
Students should do the final project and an exam related to the contents seen in the course

Minimum requirements to pass:
To pass the course students should have a minimum qualification of 5

Mentorship

To stablish the appointments students can use moodle or sent emails to the teachers. These appointments can be done online via google meet meetings or in presence (Teacher offices)

Communication and interaction with students

The communitation and interaction with the student will be mainly done via moodle, having also specific forums for all the activities.

Students can also interact with the teacher via email or via videoconferences (google meet).

Remarks

Mentoring will be held in the office 015 of building P-IV.
