Resultados de aprendizagem e competências
Programming framework
- The student should be able to describe the basic architecture of a computer.
- The student must be able to describe and relate the concepts of program and programming language.
- The student must be able to describe how information is represented on a computer.
- The student must be able to represent integer values using different bases (decimal, binary, octal, hexadecimal)
Algorithms
- The student must be able to describe different ways to represent algorithms.

Obtenção de frequência
- Continuous evaluation
- T - Theoretical component:
- 4 Mini Tests – (15%) [MT1(3%), MT2(3%), MT3(4%), MT4(5%)];
- TE – Test (50%).
- P – Practical component (Project) (35%) – 2 students.
- N – Final Grade: Theoretical Component (65%) + Practical Component (35%).
- Restrictions (20 Values):
- Test (TE) >= 9.5;
- Theoretical Component (T) >= 9.5;
- Practical Component (P) >= 9.5;
- Final grade (N) >= 9.5;
- There is no minimum grade for the Mini Tests.
- Exam
- Final Note (N):
- Exam (E) * 65% + Practice Component (P) * 35%.
- Restrictions (20 Values):
- Exam (E) >= 9.5;
- Practical Component (P) >= 9.5;
- Final grade (N) >= 9.5.
NOTES to the assessment by exam:
- Mini assessment tests carried out in class are not included in the assessment by exam;
- Projects carried out in the continuous evaluation phase may be used in the evaluation by exam in normal or appeal season;
- Students who do not present a project with a positive evaluation will have to carry out the practical component on the date of the respective exam (any season).
Fórmula de cálculo da classificação final
Continuous assessment
- T - Theoretical component:
- 4 forms (F1, F2, F3, F4) carried out online (5% each);
- TE – Test (80%).
- P – Practical component (Project) – 2 students.
- N – Final Grade: Theoretical Component * 65% + Practical Component * 35%.
Restrictions (20 Values):
- Test (TE) >= 9.5;
- Theoretical Component (T) >= 9.5;
- Practice Component (P) >= 9.5;
- Final grade (N) >= 9.5;
- There is no minimum mark for the forms.
The final grade is rounded up to units. For approval, the final grade must be greater than or equal to 10 points.
Assessment in (any) exam season
- Exam (E) * 65% + Practice Component (P) * 35%.
Restrictions (20 Values):
- Exam (E) >= 9.5;
- Practice Component (P) >= 9.5;
The final grade is rounded up to units. For approval, the final grade must be greater than or equal to 10 points.
Avaliação especial (TE, DA, ...)
Assessment in special season
Conditions equal to those indicated in the evaluation at the time of the exam.
The final grade is rounded up to units. For approval, the final grade must be greater than or equal to 10 points.
Melhoria de classificação
The grade improvement can only be performed in
recourse exam and requires prior enrollment in the Academic Division.
