LEARNING EVALUATION METHODS
The learning evaluation consists of two parts: 1) individual oral exam - a discussion about three topics from the syllabus; 2) group project - a group of 4 or 5 students must design a software agreed with the teacher and present the results. The group can choose a project that is also valid for the course: ”Software Engineering”

LEARNING EVALUATION CRITERIA
1) Individual oral exam - students must know what are methods, techniques, and standards to be used in distributed computing. 2) Group project - the group must be able to apply such methods and techniques to the development of a software and to produce a final project report.

LEARNING MEASUREMENT CRITERIA
