| Assessment |
|
The final mark is computed by using the following formula:
FinalMark = 40%LabsMark + 40%FinalPracicalExamMark + 20%IndividualProjectMark The individual project is a semester project developed by each student. The students must developed a personal home page that use both server side and client side technologies. The developed home page must also used some data base access middleware technology. The final exam it is a practical one. The student must implement a structure of web pages, but also he must answer to some theoretical questions. The lab mark is the average of the marks the student gets on the labs resolved during the semester. In order to successfully pass this class, each of the above marks must be at least five. |
