Methods of monitoring quality that ensure acquisition of exit competences:

Exit competences will be ensured: a) by small homework assignments related with course syllabus (10x) b) by project work under supervision of mentors (i.e. professor and teaching assistant) (1x) c) by partial exams (2x) or by final exam d) by tracking student attendance at lectures and exercises e) by having anonymous student surveys

Upon successful completion of the course, students will be able to (learning outcomes):

The student, after successfully passing the subject will be able: -identify the needs for company information systems, -show business procsea schemes, -make diagrams of context, -collect business data, -define the structure of the database, -modeling a database, -programming web-interface, -connect the web-interface to the database, -set up a web application on the
