Description |
| Introductory activities |
The first session introduces the subject, describing the objectives, schedule, and how the course will be assessed. |
| Forums of debate |
The students can share their questions with the teacher and their mates in the Forum. The teacher or any student can reply the questions.
The collaboration between them is part of the learning process. |
| Assignments |
The students have to perform two practical works.
The first practical work comprises the first part of the course.
The second practical work comprises the second part of the course.
The practical works are individual.
|
| Reading written documents and graphs |
According to the course schedule, students have to prepare the units of the course.
The course schedule defines when the units begin and end, i.e. students have the assignment to study the unit during this period.
If students have some question about the units, they can send them to the teacher (e-mail or Forum) or to their mates (Forum). |
| Personal attention |
The students can send questions about the subject to the teacher by email. |
|
Description |
|
Practicals using information and communication technologies (ICTs):
The students can ask questions related with the subject to the teacher. They can do their questions through email, or Moodle (they can send a private message to the teacher).
Assigments:
The students can ask questions related with the subject to the teacher. They can do their questions email, or Moodle (they can send a private message to the teacher).
Forms of discussion:
The students can share their questions with the teacher and their mates in the Forum. The teacher or any student can reply the questions.
The good contributions in the Forum will be considered in the final evaluation.
Personal tuition:
The students can ask questions related with the subject to the teacher through email.

Students have to perform two practical works.
The first practical work comprises the first units of the course. It consists on a list of exercises that have to be solved individually.
The second practical work comprises the second part of the course. It is the analysis of a product or service using cryptography (cloud, social networks, messaging apps,...) or a scientific paper.
Practical works are individual.
Both practical works have the same weight, i.e. a 35% each of them.
Passing both practical works is required to pass the course, i.e. the students have to obtain at least 5 in each of the practical works to pass the subject.

| Extended-answer tests |
|
The students have to conduct a written test.
Passing this test is required to pass the course.
|

| Oral tests |
|
The students have to conduct an oral test of the subject (all units), at the end of the course.
The test is conducted via Adobe Connect or other appropriate technology.
Passing the test is required to pass the course

Other comments and second exam session |
|
Students who do not pass the subject in the continuous assessment have to carry out a written test and an oral test. The written test will cover all the units of the course. In order to pass the course, students must have a minimum of five out of ten. The oral test will be carried out after the practical test. The student will have to answer to questions about the practical test. This test is conducted via Adobe connect or other appropriate technology. Passing the oral test is required to pass the course. |
