Evaluation criteria

The students are evaluated based on their participation during the lectures, C/C++ implementation of the algorithms studied in the classroom, oral questioning about the implemented algorithms, and a final individual report with all implementation results.

Practical tasks are assigned during the course with deadlines to accomplish and present the results of each task in a partial version of the final report.

Each task values a score within [0,10] in the final report and the students with attendance higher than 75% are graded as follows:

• grade A for average score in [8.5,10];
• grade B for average score in [7.0,8.5);
• grade C for average score in [5.0,7.0);
• grade D for average score in [0.0,5.0);

being grade E assigned to students with less than 75% of attendance.

The final report should have at most 40 pages with letter size 11pt, including figures, tables, graphics, and references. It should present the following organization.

• Cover page: provide the name of the discipline, name of the student, academic identification number (RA), and delivery date, followed by a summary of the implemented techniques and their main results.

• Subsequent pages for each task: present the literature that has been studied to implement the task, its difficulties, solutions you gave, implemented algorithms, and their results with illustration and discussion.

• Final page: present a conclusion about what you have accomplished with this course and provide suggestions to improve it.
