Content

The course consists of two main modules.
1) The basic principles of digital information representation (encoding types, existing formats, structured data, etc.)
2) The general functioning of relational databases (SQL language, database management systems, relational algebra, entity-relation model, etc.) 

Teaching methods

The course combines lectures, supervised exercise sessions, and individual work. 

Evaluation methods

In the first session, the evaluation consists of two parts:

• Individual comprehensive final examination (80%).
  
• Individual exercises (20%): students will be required to complete individual exercises throughout the session.
  

The evaluation arrangements remain the same for the second session. The examination and the individual exercises may be retaken, with the same weighting applied.
The use of AI is not permitted for these assessments.
In the event of re-enrollment, all evaluations must be retaken.
