Objectives

This course is designed to help students acquire skills in the different aspects of Internet programing. A special emphasis will be given to the World Wide Web, as a consistent interface for practically all other Internet applications in terms of structure and technology, documents creation, developing and maintaining sites and perspectives for future development.

Learning outcomes and competences

Students who obtain a passing grade should:
1 - Identify and select the most appropriate languages and technologies for a Web site's development.
2 - Have a good understanding of web development languages and style sheets.
3 - Describe information in a XML document valid according to a DTD or a XML Schema
4 - Create a DTD, or a XML Schema, to describe an annotation language for a specific domain.
5 - Define, using the XSL declarative language, a set of rules to transform XML documents.

Eligibility for exams

In order to pass this course, students must achieve:

1 - no less than 40% in the exam and 
2 - no less than 50% in pratical assignment.

Student presence in tutorial and practical sessions is registered. Lecture attendance is not mandatory, but missing lectures will affect the assessment of classroom participation.

Note that roundings are not considered to obtain the minimal mark. That means that the exam's minimal mark is 40%. E. g.: 7,95 < 8 => therefore fails.

Calculation formula of final grade

Ordinary students
Mark = round (45% * NE + 45% * NT + 10% * PP).

Students with special "non-atendance" status
Mark = round (50% * NE + 50% * NT).

Legend:

• NE - examination mark in a 0 to 20 scale without rounding;
• NT - pratical assignment mark in a 0 to 20 scale without rounding;
• PP - classroom participation mark.

The final classification of the practical component (NT) can vary from element to element in the same group, plus or minus 2 values, based on the inner assessment performed by each group.

 

Examinations or Special Assignments

None. All students have to complete the projects and present them as scheduled.

Special assessment (TE, DA, ...)

Special exams require that students have completed the practical evaluation in the scheduled periods.

Classification improvement

Exam grades can be improved in the available seasons. Improving the grades for practical work requires a new enrollment in the course.
