| Methodologies |
| 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. |
| Practicals using information and communication technologies (ICTs) in computer rooms | The students have to develop a copy detection technique. The practice will be done in groups of two. The students will present their works in class. All works (techniques developed) compete between them. The best work obtains the best grade. |
| Personal tuition | 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. |

| Practicals using information and communication technologies (ICTs) in computer rooms |
|
The students have to develop a copy detection technique. The practice can be performed individually or in a group of two students. The students will present their works in class. All works (techniques developed) compete between them. The best work obtains the best grade. |
30 | |||||||||
| Objective short-answer tests |
|
The students have to conduct a written test of the units 1 and 2. Passing this test is required to pass the course. |
10 | |||||||||
| Extended-answer tests |
|
There are two written test. The first test comprises the units 3 and 4. The second test comprises the unit 5. Both written tests have the same weight, i.e. a 30% each of them. Passing both tests is required to pass the course. |

| Others |
| Other comments and second exam session | |||
|
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 no pass the course. Students may not bring any electronic devices on the written tests. |
