Intended learning outcomes (Knowledges, skills and competencies to be developed by the students)

Provide basic mobile application skills so that students are able to design, deploy, test, debug, and deploy mobile applications that leverage local data storage, sensor information, and respect basic privacy and security rules.

Syllabus

1. Mobile Device's Interfaces.
2. Introduction to Mobile Computing.
3. Programming using the Android OS:
3.1 Graphical User Interface
3.2 Inserting data
3.3 Sensors
3.4 Location services
3.5 Information storage
3.6 Communication
4. Security and Privacy Protocols used in Mobile Computing.

Demonstration of the syllabus coherence with the UC intended learning outcomes

The predominant methods:
Theoretical classes:
• Expositive, using slides.
• Demonstration, using a computer and / or mobile device for demonstration of examples.
• Interrogative, using questions posed to the students during the exposition of the subject or demonstration of examples.
Laboratory Classes:
• Active: orientation of students in the autonomous development of exercises and practical work in groups of two students throughout the course unit.

Teaching methodologies

Distributed evaluation with final exam.

Demonstration of the teaching methodologies coherence with the curricular unit's intended learning outcomes

The student can be evaluated by continuous assessment (two tests and two practical assignments), in "época normal" (an exam and two practical assignments), "época de recurso" or "época especial" (an exam and two practical assignments).

Assessment methodologies and evidences

Avaliação Contínua:
Final Grade = 50% [CT] + 50% [CP] >= 9.5 points out of 20 points
[CT] = 30% [Test1] + 70% [Test2]
[CP] = 35% [TP1] >= 7.0 points + 15% [TP2] >= 7.0 points

Época Normal:
Final Grade = 50% [CT] + 50% [CP]
[CT] = [ExamENor]
[CP] = 35% [TP1] >= 7.0 points + 15% [TP2] >= 7.0 points

Época de Recurso:
Final Grade = 50% [CT] + 50% [CP]
[CT] = [ExamERec]
[CP] = 35% [TP1*] >= 7.0 points + 15% [TP2*] >= 7.0 points

Época Especial:
Final Grade = 50% [CT] + 50% [CP]
[CT] = [ExamEEsp]
[CP] = 35% [TP1**] >= 7.0 points + 15% [TP2**] >= 7.0 points

Where:
[CT] = Theoretical Component Grade
[Test1] = Test 1 grade
[Test2] = Test 2 grade
[ExamENor] = Época Normal exam grade
[ExamERec] = Época de Recurso exam grade
[ExamEEsp] = Época Especial exam grade
[CP] = Practical Component Grade
[TPn] = Practical Assignment Grade. Each Tin has a minimum grade of 7.0 points out of 20 points

* In Época de Recurso the TPs are different from the TPs of the Época Normal
** In Época Especial the TPs are different from the TPs of Época Normal and of Recurso

In the "Avaliação Contínua", the practical assignments may have obligatory presentations for the class in the several phases (see practical assignment).
In the "Avaliação Contínua", the practical assignments may have a obligatory oral discussion with the teacher in the various phases (see practical assignment).
In the evaluation in "Época Normal", "Época de Recurso" ou "Época Especial", the practical assignments may have compulsory oral presentation and discussion with the teacher (see practical assignments).
Access to the tests and examination is done by enrolling in Moodle.

Attendance system

The "Avaliação Contínua" requires a minimum attendance of 75% of classes.

Students with the Student Worker status who can not attend in class should indicate it by email to the person in charge of the course as soon as possible. Students with the status of Student Worker have access to continuous assessment without attendance in class (except at mandatory assessment times). The deliveries of the various works are carried out by Moodle and the deadlines for delivery are the same for all students.

The course has a number of mandatory assessment sessions: two tests (in continuous evaluation), two presentations (in continuous evaluation), oral discussion of practical assignments (two in continuous evaluation, one in the normal and one in the evaluation period) (normal, resource and special times). The lack of any of these moments of evaluation implies the zero mark in the element (test, practical assignment or exam) to be evaluated.
