2. Pre-Requisites
This course is based on the competences and knowledge acquired in:
- Fundamentals of Programming I (Fundamentos de Programación I; to have the basis in the software field).
- Fundamentals of Business Management (Fundamentos de Gestión Empresarial; to have the basis in the business field).
3. Justification in the curriculum, relation to other subjects and to the profession
This course is integrated in the area of "Software Engineering, Information Systems, and Intelligent Systems" of the curriculum and provides a transversal and integrative vision of the Computer Science context, relating the business and organisational aspects with the specific objectives of IT (Information Technology) systems. To this end, the basic concepts managed in IT (engineering, abstraction, model, system, project, process, information) are introduced, to then come up with the idea of a computer system (hardware + software + data). From this basis, the more global vision of an information system is developed as a special type of socio-technical system (with technological, human, social, and organizational elements) whose objective is to satisfy the information needs of an organization.
Thanks to the horizontal vision of the computing activity that the course contributes to, the student can better understand the role that each aspect of Computer Science plays in the whole.
Likewise, the student will know, from the first year, some of the key concepts that will be addressed in detail throughout the different courses of the degree.

8. Evaluation criteria and Grading System
| Grading System | |||
| Evaluation System | Face-to-Face | Self-Study Student | Description |
| Test | 80.00% | 0.00% | Tests (online or on paper) about: - Unit I - Unit II - Unit III - SQL - Unit IV |
| Assessment of activities done in the computer labs | 15.00% | 0.00% | Lab activities about Unit III |
| Other methods of assessment | 5.00% | 0.00% | Presentation about Unit I |
| Total: | 100.00% | 0.00% | |
Evaluation criteria for the final exam:
The qualification for the ordinary call will be obtained through continuous evaluation throughout the semester, so there is no final exam for the ordinary call. The tests during the continuous evaluation can be taken both in theoretical hours and in lab hours, according to the lecturer.
The course consists of four units whose weight in the evaluation is as follows:
- Unit I: Introduction to information systems: 10%
- Unit II: Information management: 40%
- Unit III: Development of computer systems: 30%
- Unit IV: Security in information systems: 20%
Each module will be evaluated by means activities and tests. The student will pass the subject if the sum of the scores of the different tests in the different modules results in a score greater than or equal to 5 points.

Specifications for the resit/retake exam:
The students who during the continuous evaluation of the course did not pass any of the tests considered recoverable, will be able to recover them in this call, being able to obtain up to 80% of the global grade. The remaining 20% will be obtained from the marks obtained in the continuous evaluation in the tests considered non-recoverable.
Specifications for the second resit / retake exam:
In this call, the contents of the course will be evaluated in a global written test.

| General comments about the planning: | This course schedule is APPROXIMATE. It could vary throughout the academic course due to teaching needs, bank holidays, etc. A weekly schedule will be properly detailed and updated on the online platform (Virtual Campus). Note that all the lectures, practice sessions, exams and related activities performed in the bilingual groups will be entirely taught and assessed in English. Classes will be scheduled in 3 sessions of one hour and a half per week. The assessment activities could be performed in the afternoon, in case of necessity. |
