CM10
 Resolution of theoretical exercises and problems where the student must demonstrate their competence in the analysis, planning, design, and development of engineering problems.
Resolution of various theoretical questions, possibly in a multiple-choice format and specific problems, which will be conducted during the semester related to the subject matter covered up to that point, including general questions from any role in the practical part. 		60
Practical tests
CM10
B8
 Practices will be carried out in groups of up to 4 students. The tasks of the practices will be divided into 4 roles. The members of each practice group can distribute the roles as they see fit.
There will be two phases that will be evaluated in the first examination period, one halfway through the semester and the other at the end. In the second examination period, both phases will be evaluated on the same day.
In addition to implementing the required functionalities of the chosen role in the operating system, each person must also present a user program that runs on the implemented operating system. The user program must be adapted to the functionalities of each phase of the operating system, meaning that two versions of this user program will need to be presented.
The evaluation flow for each phase will consist of three stages, which must be sequentially passed. The first stage is the presentation of the source code for the evaluated phase (OS + user program); the practice instructor will validate that it functions with a minimum level of correctness. If successful, the student can proceed to the second stage, which will be a multiple-choice test on the concepts involved in that phase of the practice. If a grade of 4 or higher out of 10 is obtained in the test, the practice can move on to the third stage, where the instructor will inspect the presented source code and adjust the test grade based on the quality of the source code. The adjusted grade may increase or decrease the test grade, but in general, it will never be lowered below 4 out of 10, except in cases of severe errors or plagiarism. Additionally, the maximum grade that can be obtained will depend on the number of integrated parts (the maximum grades and other weights for each section will be presented in the practice statement). 		40

Other comments and second exam session

If not otherwise stated, students will not be allowed to have access to communication and data transmission devices during the exams.

To calculate the average between the theoretical and practical parts of the subject, a grade equal to or higher than 5 must be obtained in the weighted average of the evaluation tests for each part (weighted average of mixed tests for the theoretical part and average of the evaluation for each phase for the practical part). Additionally, to pass the practical part, a minimum grade of 4 must be obtained in each phase.

In the second examination period, the grades obtained in the first examination period for each part will be retained. Therefore, it will only be necessary to recover the sections (theory or practice) that did not meet the minimum grade. In the theory part, there will be a single exam that will cover the entire syllabus. In the practical part, only the phases with a grade lower than 4 will need to be recovered. The same weights as in the first examination period will be applied.
