Methodologies |
Description | |
Tutorship of group | Lecturer's office hours for solving student's difficulties with the course |
Practicals using information and communication technologies (ICTs) in computer rooms | Lab practices including software design for DS and experiments with real equipment |
Problem solving, classroom exercises | The objective of these sessions consists of exposing the student to simple, specific and example-based problem resolution which will play a vital role in streamlining their mastery of the course |
Lecture | Presentation of the core concepts about distributed systems along with resolution of word problems and exercises |
Personalized attention |

Other comments and second call | |||
Students attain a pass grade if the grade to each of the two Term Exams is "passed", i.e., 5 points or greater. Both term exams must be passed for the final weighted, passed grade is granted. Final Grade = + 0,10 * Grade to the practices and regular Lab attendance + 0,10* DSPro + 0,03 * Attendance to Lectures, Problem sessions and tutorials +,05 Other hw |
