Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
The contents of this Course Unit are discussed in lecture classes and the practical part of those contents is explored in laboratory classes. Each type of class has two hours of weekly contact. The practical classes have lab guides that students perform in the computers of the lab, which include the usage of several technologies provided by nowadays database management systems, as well as the implementation of database web applications. Moreover, the proposed practical works (individual and group) are designed so that the students develop their technical skills via the development of software applications.
Assessment:
- Practical (10 points): 2 works (4.0 + 4.5) and student participation (1.5)
Frequency:
- Test: 7.5 points
- Theme (2.5 points). Evaluation: 50% teacher, 50% students.
