This is an optional experimental subject that requires in situ attendance of the students at the lab. Attendance to each of the four in situ sessions is compulsory. The classes’ schedule is published before the enrollment period. Make sure that you will be able to attend the four sessions at UVigo before you enroll in this subject. If you are working, make sure that you get a written commitment from your employers allowing you to attend the four scheduled sessions at UVigo before you enroll. Otherwise, DO NOT ENROLL, choose another optional subject that does not require in situ attendance. Job commitments are not a recognized cause for leave of absence. Porto students please note: UPorto’s general 25% leave of absence DOES NOT APPLY at UVigo. The only recognized causes for leave of absence at UVigo are the usual force majeure causes: death, serious illness, law enforcement, and acts of God, and they must be officially sanctioned by UVigo’s administrative services by means of suitable documental proof. If a leave of absence is officially sanctioned by UVigo, the evaluation of the missed session will be arranged on a case-per-case basis with consideration of the particular circumstances of the case.
Studying time and personal work
Recommended study time for students is about 6 hours per week. These add up to around 75h/semester.
Subject study recommendations
Good working knowledge of C/C++ is essential. Note that this subject requires on-site attendance at the University of Vigo in the programmed dates and times.
