Teaching will be offered on campus or in an on-campus and remote hybrid format depending on the number of students per group and the size of the rooms at 50% capacity.
The course is organized by means of traditional lectures.
The learning process will combine the following activities:
The proposed teaching methodology may undergo some modifications according to the restrictions imposed by the health authorities on on-campus courses.

The proposed evaluation activities may undergo some changes according to the restrictions imposed by the health authorities on on-campus courses.
a) Scheduled evaluation process and activities
The subject does not have written exams. The evaluation is based on the different works presented during the semester.
The submission deadlines for the different reports will be published in the moodle classroom of the virtual campus since the very beginning of the semester. Deadlines are subject to possible reschedules in case of later events. The Virtual Campus is the only channel to communicate the most updated schedule, since it is assumed that this is the only platform for exchanging this information between faculty and students.
b) Programming evaluation activities
The schedule of the regular evaluation activities will be published on the virtual campus at the early beginning fo the semester. Dates for retaking process will be published at the examination section of the School of Engineering website.
c) Retaking process
In accordance with the Academic Regulations of the UAB, participating in retaking process requires the student to have been previously evaluated in the set of evaluation activities, having achieved a minimum of two thirds of the total grade of the subject or module.
Practice work can't be retaken and must be submitted within the specified duedates.
A Project course work failed in the first instance can be recovered on the examination date set by the programme coordination. Re-taking will consist in the presentation of the corrected work according to the indications received by the professor. In this case, as long as the work meets the MINIMUM requirements, the work will be graded with a 5.
d) Procedure to review qualifications
For each evaluation activity, a place, date and time in which the student can review the activity with the teacher will be indicated. The faculty responsible for the subject will assess the presented complaints regarding the awarded grade. The student can complain in the given date, but the activity will not be reviewed later.
e) Qualifications
f) Irregularities by the student, copy and plagiarism
Without prejudice to other disciplinary measures deemed appropriate, and in accordance with current academic regulations, any irregularity committed by the student, which could lead to an alteration of the evaluation act, will be scored with a zero. Therefore, copying or allowing to copy a practice or any other activity spoiling the evaluation will imply failing with a zero, and if the activity is required to pass the subject, the whole course will be failed. The evaluation activities qualified in this way and by this procedure will not be recoverable, and therefore the subject will be failed directly without the opportunity to retaking it in the same academic year.
h) Evaluation of students retaking the whole subject
Those students retaking the whole subject must follow the same evaluation activities as for the first time.
