SCV0635 - CLOUD DATA MANAGEMENT

Exams aim at verifying that students have successfully acquired the knowledge and abilities described in the "Objectives" section. The exam consists of a written test which lasts 2 hours. Students cannot consult any textbook or other learning material during the exam. The written exam consists of 2/3 open questions on the conceptual aspects of the course and 3/4 exercises that aim to assess students' abilities in data modeling, data analysis, data distribution, or data protection. The grade is given out of thirty. Students can take intermediate written tests to assess the knowledge and skills acquired at the mid- and end-of-course. The intermediate tests have the same structure as the final written exam. The grade of both tests is given in thirtieths. The exam is passed if a student receives a grade greater than 18/30 in both intermediate tests, or if he/she receives a grade greater than 18/30 in the final written test.
If a student has received a grade greater than 18/30 on both intermediate tests, the final exam score is the average of the intermediate test grades. Otherwise, the final score corresponds to the grade of the written test.
The scores for the intermediate and final tests are derived as follows. Each question and exercise is associated with a weight equal to the maximum score the student can obtain by correctly completing the exercise. The weight can range from 3 to 8 points depending on the complexity of the related question or exercise. The exact weight for each exercise will be indicated on the exam sheet. The final grade, specified out of thirty, is calculated as the weighted average of the correctness percentages of the related questions and exercises.
The laude is awarded if the candidate achieves the maximum score and demonstrates remarkable argumentative skills or provides original solutions showing his/her exceptional reasoning abilities.
