Comment
Quotes
I wish there was more practical work.
The course name should be changed to ADVANCEMENT IN DATABASES, as it talks about what has happened and is happening in the domain. It talks about the advancement of the technology on theoretical level. A master level course should provide more to students. [...] The evaluation criteria that is ORAL EXAM, in my opinion, is not a good idea because you cannot cover the details that the examiner is looking for in 30 minutes.
