Course assessment

Conducting university questionnaires on teachers (student-teacher relationship, transparency of assessment criteria, motivation for teaching, teaching clarity, etc.). Conducting Faculty surveys on courses (upon passing the exam, student self-assessment of the adopted learning outcomes and student workload in relation to the number of ECTS credits allocated to activities and courses as a whole).

Overview of course assesment

1. list basic database terms, and use ER diagram for database modeling

2. differentiate database models with the emphasis on a relational model, and create a relational database model from an ER diagram

3. comprehend a normalised relational database schema and sketch a database using normalisation

4. create a database using SQL queries on various database management systems

5. evaluate and implement simple and complex SQL queries using relational algebra

6. create SQL queries to ensure database security and integrity, and understand the link between database integrity and business rules

7. organize transactions, create functions, stored procedures and views
