• Theory's evaluation method: collaborative exculpatory project. Students are separated in teams and need to develop a web application based on a set of requirements prescribed in the project specification. Each team after delivering its project implementation (code & report) has to be orally examined. The project/theory grade must be >=5 in order to pass the course. 
• Lab's evaluation method: atomic exercises. The lab grade is computed as the average grade across all exercises. The lab grade must be >=5 in order to pass the course. 
• The final course grade is calculated as follows: 40% lab grade + 60% theory grade
• The evaluation process is explicitly specified and communicated to the course students in person and via e-class
