Administração de Dados e Sistemas de Informação

It was a very good course, going to the theorectical class is very important because the teacher says everything that goes on the exam. The labs aren't necessary, I recomend that you do them before class with you partner (groups of 2 with a great labguide to follow) this way you'll be perfectly prepared for the project and don't need to waste time in class, only if you didn't understand something.

I liked the contents of the course. The evaluation methods are ideal in my opinion. I would like if more exams of previous years were released but understand the teachers' reasoning on why not to do it.

This course is basically an advanced Database Systems class. It covers a lot of stuff, from query optimization to distributed database systems. The course is known to be fairly easy. It's a good option for Distributed Systems students who want a manageable fourth course that still teaches useful skills. I'm taking it this semester, and all the feedback I've heard has been positive.
