Other comments and second exam session

Als exàmens de teoria no es poden consultar apunts, llibres, ni cap dispositiu electrònic. Cal obtenir una nota mínima de 4 sobre 10 a la part (final) de teoria i a cadascun dels 3 exercicis pràctics.

A la segona convocatòria la teoria s'avalua amb un qüestionari Moodle i les pràctiques oferint un segon termini de lliurament de les mateixes pràctiques.

Els exàmens es realitzaran de forma presencial. A causa de l'emergència sanitària, en cas de confinament o de restriccions en la mobilitat, les activitats avaluatives, inclosos els exàmens, es farien online en les dates previstes. En l'espai Moodle de cada assignatura hi podreu consultar la informació actualitzada.

És important tenir un cert nivell d'anglès per entendre la documentació oficial d'Android. És recomanable disposar d'un dispositiu Android per poder treballar fora del laboratori. És molt important el treball dia a dia i no deixar-ho tot per al final. És molt recomanable assistir a classe per entendre millor la documentació i informació facilitada pels professors, i poder resoldre els dubtes que es plantegin.
