Teaching method

The course is divided into theoretical classes and theoretical-practical classes.
In the theoretical the subjects are introduced and practical problems are formulated that the students have to solve in the respective pratical classes.
In the theoretical-practical classes the execution of the problems (implementation) is carried out.
All the work that the students develop in practice is part of a larger work (integration) that students have to deliver in a defined time frame, together with a report of analysis, design and implementation.

Evaluation method

Theoretical component (weight of 34%) - NT:
===========================================
Can be performed through 1 test or exam;
It is necessary to have a grade (of exam or average of the tests) of not less than 9.5 values.

Theoretical Practical component (weight of 66%) - NTP:
=========================================
2 Work. Delivery through Moodle. Evaluation based on implemented functionalities.
It is necessary to have average grade of not less than 9.5 values.

NOTE: Approvals from the previous two semesters can be used this semester.

Calculation of final grade - NF:
====================
NF = 34% * NT + 66% * NTP
