2. Pre-Requisites
Since this is a subject of the first semester of the first year of the degree in Computer Engineering, and will also be new for most students, it does not seem logical that prior requirements should be established.
In spite of this, and with the main objective of guaranteeing the comprehension of the contents and the acquisition of skills of this subject, it is advisable for the student to take advantage of certain personal skills and abilities that he acquired during his primary and secondary studies. Among them we will highlight the critical reading of the texts in the bibliography, the use of electronic material for this subject available on the Moodle platform and the active search for complementary material on the network.
It is also very important that the student has personal initiative and perseverance in the daily work of the subject.
3. Justification in the curriculum, relation to other subjects and to the profession
The subject Programming Foundations I, like the other subjects in the academic plan, is not an isolated subject but is a part of it with a close relationship to the rest of the subjects.
Within this whole, the subject has been included within the subject PROGRAMMING together with the subjects Programming Fundamentals II, Data Structure, Programming Methodology and Concurrent and Real Time Programming.
As it is the first subject of this module, the subject Programming Fundamentals I will be one of the fundamental pillars, since the basic concepts of programming that the rest of the subjects of the module will use later will be studied.
In addition, the knowledge and skills acquired with this subject will be important for the proper development of subjects from other subjects such as, for example, those related to Software Engineering.
If we go a beyond the university context and think about the future incorporation of our students into the labour market, even if a graduate in computer science is not called to be a mere programmer but to be responsible for large projects, this subject, together with the rest of the subjects, will provide the necessary skills and abilities to be able to plan the project well and subsequently evaluate the different alternatives proposed.

8. Evaluation criteria and Grading System
| Evaluation System | Continuous assessment | Non-continuous evaluation * | Description |
| Laboratory sessions | 25.00% | 25.00% | Compulsory activity that can be retaken. To be carried out during lab sessions |
| Oral presentations assessment | 10.00% | 10.00% | Non-compulsory activity that can be retaken. To be carried out during the theory/lab sessions |
| Final test | 50.00% | 50.00% | Compulsory activity that can be retaken (rescheduling) to be carried out within the planned exam dates of the final exam call (convocatoria ordinaria). |
| Theoretical papers assessment | 15.00% | 15.00% | Non-compulsory activity that can be retaken. To be carried out before end of teaching period |
| 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: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. 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 has 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 examcall (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 latter 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 may apply at the beginning of the semester 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 evaluation 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 evaluation".
In the "non-continuous evaluation" 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.
Specifications for the resit/retake exam:
Evaluation tests will be conducted for all recoverable activities.
Specifications for the second resit / retake exam:
Same characteristics as the resit/retake exam call.
