Teaching Methodologies
Contents of the course are presented through exposition of concepts and examples, their explanation and dialogue.
Group work is used to promote discussion on the contents subjects. It is promoted the contact with applications for IS design (e.g. Bizagi BPM) and practical assignments using Microsoft Visual Studio (.NET).
The periodic evaluation consists in the realization of three group assignments, all presented in class (10 values), and a written (individual) test quoted 10 values. Each of these evaluation elements has a minimum of 40% of its total. In final evaluation students can also obtain approval in the course by conducting practical assignmentes (quoted 10 values) and a written individual test (quoted 10 values).
