Compulsory subject for the Subject of Specific Technology of Computer Engineering, it is advisable to have studied the Basic Training modules and the Common module to the Computer Science Branch (Modules I and II). It is therefore recommended to have a clear understanding of the basic concepts of interconnection and configuration of network devices, and concepts of programming and operating systems.

• Continuous assessment:
  In the compulsory activities, a minimum of 4 out of 10 must be obtained to consider the activity passed and to be able to pass the subject. The assessment of the activities will be global and, therefore, must be expressed by means of a single mark. There is an alternative assessment test for the activities that can be recovered in the extraordinary exam.
  
  The partial tests will be common to all the theory/laboratory groups of the subject and will be graded horizontally by the teachers of the subject, i.e. each part of the partial tests will be assessed by the same teacher for all students.
  
  The student passes the course if he/she obtains a minimum of 50 points out of 100 with the evaluations of each evaluation activity and passes all the compulsory activities.
  
  For students who do not pass the course in the ordinary exam, the grade of the activities passed will be kept for the extraordinary exam. If an activity is not recoverable, its assessment will be kept for the extraordinary exam even if it has not been passed. In the case of passed recoverable activities, the student may sit the alternative assessment of these activities in the extraordinary exam and, in this case, the final mark for the activity will correspond to the last mark obtained.
  
  The grade of the activities passed in any call, except for partial tests, will be kept for the next academic year at the student's request provided that it is equal to or higher than 5 and that the training activities and assessment criteria of the subject are not modified in the next academic year. Failure to appear for either of the two partial tests during the final exam will result in the grade of "No-show". If the student has not passed any of the compulsory assessment activities, the final mark for the course cannot exceed 4 out of 10.
• Non-continuous evaluation:
  Students may request, at the beginning of the term, to take the non-continuous assessment mode. Similarly, students may change to the non-continuous assessment mode if they have not participated during the period of classes in assessable activities that together account for at least 50% of the total assessment of the subject. If a student has reached this 50% of assessable activities or if, in any case, the period of classes has ended, he/she will be considered in continuous assessment without the possibility of changing assessment mode.
  
  Students who choose the non-continuous assessment mode will be graded globally, in 2 annual exams, one ordinary and one extraordinary, assessing 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 marks obtained by the student in the activities or tests (progress or partial) that he/she has taken in the continuous assessment mode.
