Teaching methodology

This course is based on seminars. During the semester the student will be mandatorily attend the course seminars and learn about new topics or practices related with Big Data.

To show the comprehension of one of these areas, the student must generate a state-of-the-art in group of 2-3 people.

Evaluation methodology

Final Mark = 50% R + 50% RPr where,

R = The mark obtained on the written state-of-the-art report,
RPr = Face-to-face presentation of the report

Attendance to the summer school seminars and attend face-to-face the poster session there is mandatory and required to pass this course.
