2. Pre-Requisites
Students are expected to have passed the subject "Information Systems" in the first year and acquired knowledge of the Object Oriented Paradigm. To this end, it is advisable to have passed the subject of Fundamentals of Programming I and II, in the first year.
3. Justification in the curriculum, relation to other subjects and to the profession
This subject provides a general view of the discipline called Software Engineering and the role it plays within the context of computer science and engineering. To this end, the course includes the basic concepts and the main features and techniques to be applied during the stages of software development, that is to say, requirements, analysis, design and implementation, taking into account the Object-Oriented Paradigm.
As a result, students will acquire the basic skills and knowledge needed to work as a software engineer. With the foundations acquired in this course, students will be able to deepen in more specific software engineering-related subjects offered throughout the degree.

8. Evaluation criteria and Grading System
| Grading System | |||
| Evaluation System | Face-to-Face | Self-Study Student | Description |
| Final test | 55.00% | 0.00% | ESC: Final compulsory individual test on the contents of the subject, which includes both theoretical concepts and problem solving. To compensate with the rest of evaluable items, students need to get a minimum of 5 points in this part. |
| Assessment of problem solving and/or case studies | 20.00% | 0.00% | INF: Evaluation corresponding to the resolution of problems and cases by the working groups. This part is not compulsory, but it is worth 2 pts out of 10. Those students who do not perform this part, can only get a maximum of 8 pts instead of 10. |
| Laboratory sessions | 25.00% | 0.00% | LAB: The practice part of the course will be assessed by the delivery of the documents generated during the lab sessions by the group together with an individual assessment activity. Students must obtain a minimum of 5 points to make the average with the rest of marks. |
| Total: | 100.00% | 0.00% | |
Evaluation criteria for the final exam:
ASSESSMENT CRITERIA IN THE REGULAR EXAM SESSION:
To pass the subject, it is compulsary to pass both the written exam corresponding to the theoretical lessons and the practice sessions performed in the lab. Besides, it is required a minimum mark of 5 out of 10 in each one of them (theory and practice) to pass the subject. The final mark is obtained by applying the following formula, as long as the abovementioned criteria is fulfilled:
Final Mark = Theory Mark * 0.55 + Practice Mark * 0.25 + Working Groups * 0.20
Those students who do not reach a mark of at least 5 (out of 10) both in Theory and Practice cannot pass the subject, and will get a mark no greater than 4.00 even if the final mark obtained by applying the formula is greater than 5.

Specifications for the resit/retake exam:
ASSESSMENT CRITERIA IN THE EXTRAORDINARY EXAM SESSION:
The assessment criteria are exactly the same as in the regular exam session with the following considerations:
- The students will only need to retake the failed parts. Those parts already passed by the student will not need to be repeated and their mark will be kept during the current academic course. Marks are not kept from one academic course to the next.
- The only part that cannot be retaken is the "Working Group" activities. The mark obtained in the regular exam session will be kept for the extraordinary exam session.
- The practice part of the subject can only be retaken in the extraordinary exam session if it has been performed in the lab during the first semester. It is not possible to perform the practice part of the subject for the first time in the extraordinary exam session.

| 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. |
