Assesssment methods and criteria:

Classification Type: Quantitativa (0-20)

Evaluation Methodology:
T classes in which the more general concepts from Requirements Engineering (RE) are presented. Whenever possible examples and practical cases are used. These examples could be created specifically for a certain topic or originated from industry. Students are stimulated to participate with open questions. TP classes in which more concrete techniques to approach ER are presented. In this classes open problems are presented so that the students together with the lecturer can practice the techniques mentioned above. These problems are presented in exercises sheets together with simpler exercises focusing in more concrete aspects of RE Also in the TP classes students will present the class assignments. Some time will also be reserved in the TP classes to follow the different elements of continuous evaluation from the class Evaluation: two individual exams (25% each minimum grade of 9); RE project(40% minimum mar of 9.5); Theoretical practical assignment(10%, minimum mark of 9.5)
