Learning outcomes and competences

Students who obtain a passing grade should:
1- Identify and select the more appropriate languages and technologies for a Web site's development
2- Have a good understanding of several languages for the development of Web pages and styles
3- Describe a set of information in valid XML document according to a DTD or a XML Schema
4- Create a DTD, or a XML Schema, to specify a small language for a well defined domain
5- Define, using the declarative XSL language, a set of rules for XML documents transformation

Eligibility for exams

In order to pass this course, students must achieve:
1- no less than 40% in the exam
2- no less than 50% in continuous assessment

Calculation formula of final grade

If NE Fails the subject
If NE>=8 e NT>=10
Obtains passing mark according to the following rules:
If (NE – NT) > 5
NF = (NE+NT)/2+0,25*(NE-NT-5)
If -5 <= (NT-NE) <= 5
NF=(NE+NT)/2
If (NT-NE) > 5
NF = (NE+NT)/2-0,25*(NT-NE-5) 
Where
NE is the examination mark in a 0 to 20 scale without rounding 
NT is the assignments mark in a 0 to 20 scale without rounding 
NF is the final mark
Note that for obtain minimal marks previous roundings are not considered. That means, the exam's minimal mark is 40%. Ex: 7,95 < 8 => therefore fails.

Special assessment (TE, DA, ...)

Sames rules as ordinary students

Classification improvement

Improving the final exam mark: another exam
Improving the mark achieved in distributed evaluation is not possible in resit periods
