3. Justification in the curriculum, relation to other subjects and to the profession
This subject is included in the superset 'Computing', along with 'High Performance Computing' and 'Development of Intelligent Systems'. The main objective of this is to train the student in the fundamentals of visualization in information interaction, with special emphasis on different techniques to be used and deepening the aspect related to management responsibilities from the point of view of project management.
In recent years, there has been a rapid evolution in information interaction and visualization techniques. The needs of qualified personnel in the sector are notable, specifically in the direction and management of multidisciplinary work teams, in the field of video games, cinema, television, industrial design, scientific displays, simulations, etc ...
In this context, this subject addresses the main fields of knowledge in the field of modern computer interaction techniques and the methods of information synthesis.

| Test | 15.00% | 15.00% | Oral test of assigment 2, in groups. [PRU] Partial tests and final exam at the end of the subject. Both students attending the presence-based and blended modality will be assessed in the same type of examination sessions |
| Laboratory sessions | 30.00% | 30.00% | Individual practices. [LAB] Work at laboratory and/or cases. Both students attending the presence-based and blended modality will be assessed in the same type of examination sessions |
| Total: | 100.00% | 100.00% |
According to art. 4 of the UCLM Student Evaluation Regulations, it must be provided to students who cannot regularly attend face-to-face training activities the passing of the subject, having the right (art. 12.2) to be globally graded, in 2 annual calls per subject , an ordinary and an extraordinary one (evaluating 100% of the competences).
Evaluation criteria for the final exam:
-
Continuous assessment:A minimum score is not required in any of the evaluation systems, the student will pass the course if the sum of all of them reaches 50%.
-
Non-continuous evaluation:A minimum score is not required in any of the evaluation systems, the student will pass the course if the sum of all of them reaches 50%.
The student can transfer to this evaluation points obtained in previous evaluation tests. In the tests that the student wants to improve in order to pass or obtain a higher grade, the work already done will not be reevaluated but, instead, the complete test has to be repeated, presenting -where appropriate- different works to those already delivered.
In team tests, in case the student cannot be part of a team, they will take them individually.
Specifications for the resit/retake exam:
Same as in the non-continuous evaluation of the ordinary call.
Specifications for the second resit / retake exam:
Same as in the non-continuous evaluation of the ordinary call.
