This paper shows statistics of a group at the Faculty
of Telecommunications Engineering in Barcelona (Spain). Due to
the different origin and academic background of the students,
planning the course is a challenging task. This work shows the
features that characterize the group as heterogeneous. Statistics
about the origin and the grades of a test before the course are
shown along with the existing correlation between both. The
paper also analyzes the grades obtained in the final exams and
relates them to the origin and initial test. In the statistics some
groups can be differentiated with students belonging to each
group showing a similar degree of academic progress. The
results allow drawing some conclusions on how a careful
observation of the countries of origin, academic background and
the results of a test before starting the course can help to plan a
balanced course and evaluation.Peer ReviewedPostprint (published version)
