Explanation

Theory part: 50%
Written exam, closed-book, with open questions.
Labs: 50%.
The students carry out assignments, and are evaluated on:

• Demonstrating the design, elaboration and operation of their realisations, during the lab sessions (necessary to get a score for each assignment).
• reporting (during the lab sessions) on the execution of their assignments, in which they describe on the one hand how they carried out the assignment, and on the other hand demonstrate by means of screenshots or other evidence that their solution works

The assignments are carried out and reported individually.

If the student achieves less than 6/20 for one of the educational activities (theory or lab), the student can only achieve a maximum of 9/20 for the whole of the course.

TSLO 1 - Technical knowledge, analysis & research (level 1)

Insufficient

• The problem definition is completely unclear to the student.
• The assignment has not been analysed.
• Has not or insufficiently identified the requirements and/or has not taken any action to gather the missing knowledge.

Sufficient

• The student has understood the problem, objective and assignment concerning ICT systems, services or applications.
• The analysis results in a limited set of requirements.
• The required technical knowledge has been identified and action has been taken to gather the missing knowledge.

Excellent

• The student has exceeded expectations in terms of understanding the problem, objective and assignment regarding ICT systems, services or applications.
• The analysis of the assignment led to a better result than expected.
• The student has expanded his own technical knowledge in such a way that a certain expertise in the domain has been built up.

Evaluation: during different moments the student will be asked to what extent he or she has mastered these points:

• When receiving and working out the lab assignments
• During demonstrations of lab assignments

TSLO 3 – Implementation (level 1)

Insufficient

• Some parts have been realized.
• Some parts are missing.
• Documentation does not sufficiently reflect the realisation process.
• Too little has been tested.

Sufficient

• The student provides a working proof of concept solution or service.
• The solution is a complete and correct implementation of set requirements. He/she verifies and validates the product or service against the set requirements.

Excellent

• The choice of components is motivated by the design and the solution being integral.
• All parts are realized into an integrated product or service.
• Product or service meets the set of requirements and even exceeds them in certain areas.
• The product or service offers an answer to the problem.
• The realisation process is extensive and accurately documented.

Evaluation:

• Demonstration of working results
• documentation review
• successful tests

TSLO 8 – Project- and performance management (level 1)

Insufficient

• Does not develop activities
• Gives no results
• Makes big mistakes, works sloppy
• Does not take responsibility for his own tasks
• Doesn't meet deadlines.

Sufficient

• He/she directs, evaluates and optimises his/her own effectiveness. He/she makes adjustments based on feedback.
• He/she takes on assignments in a project-based manner and respects the planning and adjusts if necessary.
• Is attentive to the quality of the work
• Takes responsibility for his own tasks
• Meets deadlines, but only just

Excellent

• Develops activities with a focus on the end result
• Fully assumes responsibility and thus motivates others
• Meets deadlines quickly
• Adjusts planning based on interim results
• Anticipates potential risks in his/her planning
• During all phases of the project, the student is constantly attentive to all aspects of the follow-up and steering of the project, and takes action for adjustments where necessary.

Information about retaking exams

This course unit allows partial mark transfers in case of partial pass mark:

• YT6103 - Virtualisation Fundamentals: Theory (during and beyond academic year)
• YT6104 - Virtualisation Fundamentals: Lab (during and beyond academic year)

Same score distribution as during the 1st examination opportunity.
Resit is possible for the written theory exam.

There is no assistance for the resit of the lab section.
For re-examination of the lab part, the student can supplement or improve the reports from the 1st examination period, otherwise the points of the 1st examination period apply.  The same conditions (the result must be demonstrated in the lab in order to score for the assignment) remain valid for the resit.
