Recognise the situation as a problem in a multidisciplinary, research or professional environment, and take an active part in finding a solution. Follow a systematic method with an overall approach to divide a complex problem into parts and identify the causes by applying scientific and professional knowledge. Design a new solution by using all the resources necessary and available to cope with the problem. Draw up a realistic model that specifies all the aspects of the solution proposed. Assess the model proposed by contrasting it with the real context of application, find shortcomings and suggest improvements. | |

Understand the team’s objective and identify their role in complex contexts. Communicate and work with other teams to achieve joint objectives. Commit and encourage the necessary changes and improvements so that the team can achieve its objectives. | |
| CT5 |
Produce quality texts that have no grammatical or spelling errors, are properly structured and make appropriate and consistent use of formal and bibliographic conventions Draw up texts that are structured, clear, cohesive, rich and of the appropriate length, and which can transmit complex ideas. Draw up texts that are appropriate to the communicative situation, consistent and persuasive. Use the techniques of non-verbal communication and the expressive resources of the voice to make a good oral presentation. Construct a discourse that is structured, clear, cohesive, rich and of the appropriate length, and which can transmit complex ideas. Produce a persuasive, consistent and precise discourse that can explain complex ideas and effectively interact with the audience. | |

| Description | |
| Introductory activities | The first session introduces the subject, describing the objectives, schedule, and how the course will be assessed. |
| Lecture | The teacher explains the units of the course. |
| IT-based practicals in computer rooms | The students have to develop a DRM-protected video streaming service and a copy detection technique. The first practical work is individual. The second practical work will be done in groups of two. For the second practical work, if the health situation allows for it, the students will present their works in class. All works (techniques developed) compete between them. The best work obtains the best grade. |
| Personal attention | Practicals using information and communication technologies (ICTs) in computer rooms: The students can ask questions related with the subject to the teacher. They can do their questions in class, to his office in office hours, through email, or Moodle. Lecture: The students can ask questions related with the subject to the teacher. They can do their questions in class, to his office in office hours, through email, or Moodle. The students can be attended out of office hours either personally or through online meetings if they previously agree a meeting with the teacher. |

The students can ask questions related with the subject to the teacher. They can do their questions in class, to his office in office hours, through email, or Moodle. The students can be attended out of office hours if they previously agree a meeting with the teacher. Due to the health emergency, this attention can be carried out through online meetings, previously appointed by e-mail, or with other online tools. |

|
There are two practical works. The first practical work consists on the development of a DRM-protected video streaming service. This practical work is carried out individually. In the second practical work, the students have to develop a copy detection technique, in particular an audio fingerprinting service (similar to Shazam). This practical work can be performed individually or in groups of two students. Additionally, for the second practical work, and if the health situation allows for it, the students will present their works in class. All works (techniques developed) compete between them. The best work obtains the best grade. |

Students who do not pass the subject in the continuous assessment have to carry out a examination on the second call, and deliver the practice. The exam will consist of three parts, corresponding to the three parts of the course (first part: units 1 and 2 - second part: units 3 and 4 - third part: unit 5). Each part is scored out of 10 points. The students have to obtain at least 4 in each of the parts to pass the examination, and the sum of the three parts must be greater than 15 points. The practice must have a minimum of five to pass the course. Otherwise, the students can not pass the course. Students may not bring any electronic devices on the written tests. |
