This course is based (but does not depend) on the competencies and knowledge obtained in the previous courses:

• Programming Fundamentals I
• Programming Fundamentals II
• Calculus and Numerical Methods
• Algebra and Discrete Mathematics
• Data Structures
• Programming Methodology

• Continuous assessment:
  In compulsory activities, a minimum mark of 40% is required in order to pass that activity and have the possibility to therefore pass the entire subject. The
  evaluation of the activities will be global and therefore must be quantified by means of a single mark. If the activity consists of several sections, each section may
  be evaluated separately provided students are informed in writing of this evaluation criterion at the beginning of the academic year. In the case of the activities
  that may be retaken (i.e., rescheduling), an alternative activity or test will be offered in the resit/retake exam call (convocatoria extraordinaria).
  The final exam will be common for all the theory/laboratory groups of the subject and will be evaluated by the lecturers of the subject in a serial way, i.e., each
  part of the final exam will be evaluated by the same lecturer for all the students.
  A student is considered to pass the subject if she/he obtains a minimum of 50 points out of 100, taking into account the points obtained in all the evaluable
  activities, and also have passed all the compulsory activities.
  For students who do not pass the subject in the final exam call (convocatoria ordinaria), the marks of activities already passed will be conserved for the
  resit/retake exam call (convocatoria extraordinaria). If an activity is not recoverable, its assessment will be preserved for the resit/retake exam call (convocatoria extraordinaria) even if it has not been passed. In the case of the passed recoverable activities, the student will have the opportunity to receive an alternative evaluation of those
  activities in the resit/retake exam call and, in that case, the final grade of the activity will correspond to the last grade obtained.
  The mark of the passed activities in any call, except for the final exam, will be conserved for the subsequent academic year at the request of the student, provided
  that mark is equal or greater than 50% and that the activities and evaluation criteria of the subject remain unchanged prior to the beginning of that academic
  year.
  The failure of a student to attend the final exam will automatically result in her/him receiving a "Failure to attend¿ (no presentado). If the student has not passed
  any compulsory evaluation activity, the maximum final grade will be 40%
• Non-continuous evaluation:
  Students who are unable to attend training activities on a regular basis may apply at the beginning of the semester for the non-continuous assessment mode. Similarly, if a student who is undergoing continuous assessment incurs any circumstance that prevents her/him from regularly attending the classroom-based training activities, she/he may renounce the accumulated mark in continuous assessment and apply for the non-continuous assessment mode.
  In the same way, the student may change to the non-continuous evaluation mode as long as she/he has not participated during the teaching period in evaluable activities that together account for at least 50% of the total mark of the subject. If a student has reached this 50% of the total obtainable mark, or the teaching period is over, she/he will be considered in continuous assessment without the possibility of changing to non-continuous evaluation mode.
  Students who take the non-continuous assessment mode will be globally graded, in 2 annual calls per subject , an ordinary and an extraordinary one (evaluating 100% of the competences), through the assessment systems indicated in the column "Non-continuous assessment".
  In the "non-continuous assessment" mode, it is not compulsory to keep the mark obtained by the student in the activities or tests (progress test or partial test) taken in the continuous assessment mode.
