Networks & Cloud Technologies and Security (Computer networks and cloud technologies)
The exam consists of 32 multiple-choice questions to ensure the student has acquired the expected knowledge (see expected learning outcomes). For the part about skills, the questions may be related to the tools experimented with in the laboratories. The written Test will be taken using the Exams platform in a classroom. In case of technical problems, the students may be asked to write their Test with pencil and paper. The Test is closed-book, i.e., the student cannot consult any material during the Test and cannot use any electronic device except for the PC used for the Test. The maximum grade of the Test is 32/32, and the total duration, as measured by the Exams platform, which includes the setup time, is 1 hour and 10 minutes. The following evaluation criteria will be applied: correct answer: 1 point, wrong answer: -0.33 points, no answer provided: 0 points. A mark on the written Test larger than or equal to 25/32 will give the student the right to take an integrative (and elective) oral test. The mark can also be increased by the evaluation of extra activities organized in the context of the Master’s Degree course. The final mark of the annual course "Networks & Cloud Technologies and Security" will be the average of the grade obtained for this module (“Computer networks and cloud technologies”) and the grade obtained in the other module (“Networks & Cloud Security”). If the average final mark is 32, the student gets 30L. A sample exam test will be made available to the students through the Exercise platform.
Networks & Cloud Technologies and Security (Network and Cloud Security)
The exam consists of a written test that may include open-answer and closed-answer questions or exercises to check that the student has acquired the expected knowledge (see expected learning outcomes). For the part about skills, the questions may be simple exercises or use cases related to the tools experimented with in the laboratories. The written Test will be taken using the Exams platform in a classroom. In case of technical problems, the students may be asked to write their Test with pencil and paper. The Test is closed-book, i.e., the student cannot consult any material during the Test or use any electronic device except for the PC used for the Test. The maximum grade of the Test is 30/32, and the total duration, as measured by the Exams platform, which includes the setup time, is 1 hour and 30 minutes. A mark on the written Test greater than or equal to 25/32 will give you the right to take an integrative (and elective) oral test. The oral Test allows the student to obtain the 30L (i.e., 32/32). The mark can also be increased by evaluating extra activities organized in the context of the Master’s Degree course. Alternatively, the student can develop individual homework about one of the course's topics, delivering a written report followed by an oral presentation. The report and the oral presentation are evaluated up to 30L (i.e., 32/32). The final mark of the annual course "Networks & Cloud Technologies and Security" will be the average of the grade obtained for this module (“Networks & Cloud Security”) and the grade obtained in the other module (“Computer networks and cloud technologies”). If the average final mark is 32, the student gets 30L. A sample exam test will be made available to the students through the Exercise platform.

Networks & Cloud Technologies and Security (Computer networks and cloud technologies)
The exam consists of 32 multiple-choice questions to ensure the student has acquired the expected knowledge and skills about all the topics of the course (i.e., IPv4 network design, routing, LAN and VLAN design, IPv6, MPLS, QoS, optical networks, computing virtualization technologies, cloud computing models and technologies, SDN/NFV). For the part about skills, the questions may be related to the tools experimented with in the laboratories (i.e., some questions on the topics covered in the laboratory activities may be asked). The written Test will be taken using the Exams platform in a classroom. In case of technical problems, the students may be asked to write their Test with pen and paper.

A mark on the written Test larger than or equal to 25/32 will give the student the right to take an integrative (and elective) oral test. In the oral test, some questions will be asked about the same topics covered by the written Text. The mark can also be increased by the evaluation of extra activities organized in the context of the Master’s Degree course. The final mark of the annual course "Networks & Cloud Technologies and Security" will be the average of the grade obtained for this module (“Computer networks and cloud technologies”) and the grade obtained in the other module (“Networks & Cloud Security”).
