Advanced Database Systems (ADBS, in English) – 48h, 6 CFU

2023-2024, 2nd period, Master degree in Artificial Intelligence & Cybersecurity, University of Udine

Teacher

Dario Della Monica

Exam modality

The exam consists of a written test that can assign a score up to 28/30.
The oral exam is optional; students can ask for it, if they wish so, after having passed the written test.
However, those aiming to a score higher than 28/30 must take an oral exam.
The final score after the oral exam can be lower than the score obtained with the written test.
Sometimes, on a case-by-case basis, the teacher may require students to integrate their written exam with an oral one.
