 Work Plan
1. Methodology: classical and project-based, learning methodologies

2. Theory sessions: combine digital presentations (PowerPoint with a projector), and whiteboard writing.
Special emphasis will be placed on the development of guided exercises and application problems

3. Laboratory (L): work will be carried out where web apps will be designed, analysed and implemented
based on the concepts seen in the classroom sessions. These will be graded and the average of these
grades will be called L. Where computer labs are not available, students are expected to use their personal
computers or mobile devices to complete lab assignments at their own pace, subject to required
submission deadlines

4. Project (P): a Django web design group project will be carried out, by using ideas and software tools
studied in class. Deliverables include, a project summary report in a given format in pdf, a presentation in
PowerPoint, and possibly codes in a zip file. Code performance, presentation, and report will be evaluated.
The grade associated with the project will be called P

5. Tests (T): there will be one (1) classroom test and the result will be called T

6. Final Examination (E): there will be one final examination in the last week of the course. The result of the
