SCV0686 - NOSQL DATABASES

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 3 open questions on the conceptual aspects of the course, and 3/4 exercises, which aim at assessing data modeling, or data analysis, or data distribution or data protection abilities learned by the students. The grade is given out of thirty. Students can do intermediate written tests to assess the acquired knowledge and abilities at mid and end of the 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 in both intermediate tests, the final exam score is the average value of the grades received in the intermediate tests. Otherwise, the final score corresponds to the grade of the written test.
The score of intermediate and final tests is derived as follows. Each question and exercise is associated with a weight corresponding to the maximum score the student can obtain by correctly carrying out the exercise. The weight can range from 3 to 8 points depending on the complexity of the related question or exercise. The final grade, specified out of thirty, is calculated as the weighted average of the correctness percentages of the related questions and exercises.
