The curricular unit PRI aims to prepare students to know, understand, design and develop solutions for information processing and retrieval.
The specific objectives are:
Upon completing this course, the student should be able to design and implement a system for processing and retrieving information.
In particular, the student must be able to:
Programming: knowledge and practice with programming languages for application development.
Databases: knowledge and practice of data modeling in UML.
The area of information processing and retrieval
Architecture of information retrieval systems
Recovery models
Web information retrieval
Assessment of information retrieval systems
The program topics are exposed in a series of tutorial sessions (theoretical presentation and laboratory work). Each group of students defines and carries out a project throughout the semester, with part of the development, monitoring, and evaluation carried out in class.
Project: design and implementation of an information processing and research system developed in groups of students. The project is organized in deliveries and partial presentations, which correspond to the project development phases.
Exam: multiple choice test, including open-ended questions.

The development of the project will be monitored during the theoretical-practical classes, and evaluated based on the monitoring, a technical report, and the final presentation.
Theoretical concepts are assessed through a final exam, with multiple choice questions, including open-ended questions.
Approval in the curricular unit is subject to obtaining a minimum individual assessment of 40% the exam and 50% in the project final evaluation.
The final grade will be calculated using the formula
NF = 60% Project + 40% Exam
The final grade of the project can vary from element to element of the same group, by plus or minus 3 values, based on the opinion of the teachers and in the self-assessment and hetero-assessment to be carried out internally in each group.
Students who fail to pass the unit must repeat the two assessment components (Project and Exam) in a new application.
There are no exams or special assignments.
The distributed assessment, carried out during the semester in which the course unit operates, is required for all students, regardless of the enrollment regime.
Student workers and their equivalents dismissed from classes must, at intervals to be agreed with the teachers, present the progress of their work, as well as present these, simultaneously with ordinary students, and carry out the theoretical tests for individual assessment provided for.
The classification can be improved in the next occurrence of the curricular unit.
