Evaluation of the course will be done in two parts. The first part tests
your understanding of the conceptual aspects of the course and is graded by
compulsory written assignments and an optional comprehensive exam. The
optional exam is only for those students who fail to obtain at least 50% of
the points in the written assignments. The second part evaluates how well
you apply the concepts learned during the course when developing systems.
This part will be graded by compulsory programming projects.
There is only one final course grade that is obtained by combining the scores
from both parts of the evaluation in the following way.
Final_score = (written_assignments_points + project_points) / 2
The score for each part is calculated by adding the scores of each individual
assignment/project.
Written assignments, total points = 100
- Written assignment 1 - 40 points
- Written assignment 2 - 30 points
- Written assignment 3 - 30 points
Programming projects, total points = 100
- Java RMI - 10 points
- GCom - 60 points
- Persistent GCom - 30 points
You must obtain at least 50 points on each part of the evaluation to pass the
course. For the practical part of the course, you
must attempt all
three projects and score at least 50 points. For the written assignments,
in case that you don't obtain at least 50 points, you have the chance to take a
comprehensive exam to make up for those points.
This exam is only for
those students who fail to reach 50 points on the written assignments.
Students who do not pass the comprehensive optional exam, may take a second or
third comprehensive test on the stipulated dates. A student who has passed an
examination may not be re-examined.
The final grade is calculated using the following table.
| Number of points |
Grade |
| Final_score ≥ 80 |
5 |
| 65 ≤ Final_score < 80 |
4 |
| 50 ≤ Final_score < 65 |
3 |
| Final_score < 50 |
U (Fail) |
