CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT
There will be:
1) Two individual PECs corresponding to the topics studied in the course. Each PEC has a weight of 25% of the final grade of the course.
2) Practical classes: case-study will be the type of classroom practice. It has a weight of 30% of the final grade of the course.3) Essay: an individual composition about a security topic. It has a weight of 20% of the final grade of de course.
4) Participation in the classroom: it refers at the presence and participation in the classroom. It has a weight of 10% of the final grade of de course.
The exam averages with the continuous evaluation regardless of the grade obtained. The total weighted average must be 5 points or higher in order to pass.
SINGLE EVALUATION
Students who opt for the single evaluation will take a final synthesis test of all the content of the course (100%) .
The date for this test and/o the delivery of the work of the subject will be the same scheduled in the timetable for the last continuous evaluation exam.
The same recovery system will be applied as for the continuous evaluation.
EVALUATION OF THE STUDENTS IN SECOND OR MORE SUMMONS
Students who repeat the course will have to take the scheduled tests and exams on the dates indicated in the Moodle classroom.
SECOND CHANCE EXAMINATION
The student who does not pass the course, who does not reach 5 (total) out of 10, according to the criteria established in the two previous sections may take a final exam provided that the student has been evaluated in a set of activities, the weight of which is equivalent to a minimum of two thirds of the total grade of the course. If the student has not been evaluated of these two thirds because he/she has not taken the tests, he/she will obtain a grade of Not Presented, without the possibility of taking the final exam.
In this exam the whole of the contents of the subject that have not been passed in the continuous evaluation will be re-evaluated.
In the case of passing the final exam, the course will be approved with a maximum of 5, regardless of the grade obtained in the exam.
CHANGE OF DATE OF A TEST OR EXAMINATION
Students who need to change an evaluation date must submit the request by filling out the document that can be found in the EPSI Tutoring Moodle space.
Once the document has been filled in, it must be sent to the professor of the subject and to the coordination of the Degree.
REVIEW
At the time of each evaluation activity, the faculty will inform the students of the grade review mechanisms.
For single evaluation students, the review process will be the same.
OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
Without prejudice to other disciplinary measures deemed appropriate, and in accordance with current academic regulations, "in the event that the student performs any irregularity that may lead to a significant variation in the grade of an act of evaluation, this act of evaluation will be graded with a 0, regardless of the disciplinary process that may be instigated. in the event that several irregularities occur in the acts of evaluation of the same subject, the final grade of this subject will be 0 ".
If during the correction there are indications thatan activity or work has been done with answers assisted by artificial intelligence, the teacher may supplement the activity with a personal interview to corroborate the authorship of the text.
If there are unforeseen circumstances that prevent the normal development of the course, the teacher may modify both the methodology and the evaluation of the course.

The bibliography will be on Campus Virtual.
Software
This subject will use the basic software of the Office 365 package.
