It will be required to make a program using C and ARM machine language, in order to implement a game on the NDS platform. The program will be developed in two phases. Students will join in groups of up to 4 members, each one will be in charge of developing some tasks for each phase, and a specific testing function for each task. At the end of each phase, every member will be interviewed individually. The grades will be independent with respect to the rest of the group, and maybe limited according to the number of tasks that have been integrated into the final program. The final grade of the practical tests will be computed as the arithmetic mean of the two grades of the interviews. It will be required to achieve a minimum grade of 4 (out of 10) in each phase in order to have the right to compute the final grade of the subject. 30
Extended-answer tests
A7
CM9
A 2 hours exam in which it will be required to solve a specific problem, consisting in implement a program on the NDS platform to do tasks that need input/output of information, using C and ARM machine language. In the given solution, the student must demonstrate that he/she has a sound understanding of the basic techniques for programming processes for Input/Output information (acces to I/O registers, sincronization through polling/interruption, etc.). 40
Multiple-choice objective tests
A7
CM9
Multiple-choice test in the Moodle with about 30 questions of single answer over 4 options, about every concept explained in the regular lectures. 30

Other comments and second exam session

It will be required a minimum grade of 4 out of 10 in every assessment of the subject (in each phase of the practical tests, extended-answer test, objective multiple-choice test), in order to have the right to pass the subject, either in first and second call.

The subject will be passed if the weighted mean of the assessments, rounded to the unity, is above or equal to 5 out of 10.

The evaluation in the second call presents the same structure than in the first call, i.e., practical tests (two phases), extended-answer test and objective multiple-choice test, but it will only be necessary to go in for the tests with grades below the minimum (4 out of 10). Students that want to improve their grades will also be allowed to take again their passed tests, although it must be understood that the final grade will be the one corresponding to the last provided solution, although it was worse than the previous one.

During the completion of all the tests, it will not be allowed the use of any electronic device, nor to consult any notes.

During the extended-answer test, the time limit should be strictly respected. All solutions submitted just a second after the time limit will be rejected, which will lead to a grade such as not submitted exam on that call.

The test and problem exams will be done in person. Due to the health emergency, the practice interviews will be carried out by means of an individual videoconference. In case of lockdown or mobility restrictions, the test and problem exams would also be done online on the scheduled dates.
