7. Reading List Assigned reading matedals and presen[ations should be read prior to
class. Class lectures and discussions will proceed with supplemental and
aclvanced lopics, which could be difficult to understaud unless stuclents
have read the assigned rnaterial. Readings are listed in the schedule
section. All necessary upclates and / or changes to the course will be
reflected irr the Leaming Management System
(n'rood le.astanait. edu.kz).

2. Course policy Course and University policies include:
The discipline is implemented taking into account the individual
charactedstics and needs of students with disabilities and sDecial
educationalneeds, ensuring the accessibrlity of the educational process,
equal learning conditions and a couf ortable educational environtlent.

Attendance:
Attenclance is not allocated any grading points in the rnarking scltente,
but is compulsory to pass the course. Normally students are requh'ed to
achieve oourse attendance of llinimurn 70o/o to get admitted to the
exarlination rublic.

In case a student misses 30olt or more class sessions without a valid

excuse the instructor has the right to mark him as "not graded". In such
case a student is not adrnitted to the exarn and autotnatically fails the
course.

In cases, when a student misses zr class session due to valid reasons (is
excused by the instructor or the dean's of fice) he or she has to conflnn
the absence reason using a valid document in accordance with the
acadernic policy of AITU.

It should bc NOTED that in cases wircn a student is excuscd tor 30% of

the soheduled olass sessions or lrore he or she has to study material
provided uncler the coursc on their own. Course instructor rnight providc
additionalopportunities to submit missed graded pieces of work during
officc honrs or conduct altemative asscssment exercises using method
of his or her choosing (only if the student got permission from the
instructor).

Preparation for Class: Class participation is a very important part of

the lcaming proccss in this coLlrsc. Although not explicitly grade,
stucients will be evaluated on the QUALITY of their contributions aud
insights. QLrality commcnts possess onc or more of the following
properties:
- Offers a different and unique, but relevant, perspective;
- Contributes to moving the discussion aud analysis fotwalcl;
- Builds on other conlnents.

Class work: The duration of each lecture and practical lesson is 50

minutes for offline class, and 40 rninutes for online class. Students are
expected to complete all readings and assignments ahead of time, attend
class regularly and participate in class discussions. In case of systemic
student's rnisconcluct, the student can be dispensed ftom the c.lasses.

Being late on class: Being late on class: When students come to class
late, it can disrupt the l'low of a lecture or discussion, distract other
students, irnpede learning, and generally elode class morale. Moreover,
if left unchecked, lateness can becotne chronic and spread throughout
the class. By tlie policy of this oourse, studentswho come late to class
fbr more than 5 minntes are not allowed to get in to class and
conscquently, they will bc marked as "absent" for the specific hour.

Attestation I and II: Students, who score less than 25%o for Attestation
period I or Attcstzrtion period II (RKI/RK2) automatically fail the
coLlrse.
Home work / Assignments: The assignments will be evaluated only if
the student has uploaded his/hcr work to the "rnoodle" platfbm and
defended it. Without defense, a student cannot get a grade for
assignments. The assignments are clesigned to acquaint students with
the theoretical knowledge and practical skills requiled for the course.
Tlie textbook reaclings will be supplemented with materials collected
from recent prolessional articles and jouruals. In case of using
someone's work (papers, afticles, any publications), all works uust be
properly cited. Failure to cite work will be resulted as a cheating fron-r
the studer-rts and rnay be a subject of additional disciplinary measlrres.

Assignment Defenses Policy:

Assignment Defenses Requirement: Each student is requiled to

deltnd their assignments according to tl-re form provided by the
instructor. Failure to clef'encl assignments will result in a grade of zeto
fbr that parlicular work.

Evaluation Criteria: Marl<s for assignrnents wi[[ be awarded based

on the quality o1'clel'ense provided by ihe student. The defense prooess
is intcgral to tho assessnlont of the assignment.

lmpact on Midterm and Endter"m Exams: Assignments are

designed to teinfbrce the r.rnderstanding of course materials and
prcparc studcnts fbr the midtcrrn and cndtenn exalns. If a student fails
to def'end anylall zrssignments, he may not be penlitted to sit fbr the
rnidtcmr or endtenl exallls. This is because thc content and concepts
col,ered iu tlie exams are clirectly related to the assignments and their
defr:nses.

Exceptional Circumstances: In cases of documented exceptional

circumstances, such as medical euretgeucies or other valid reasotrs,
students may be granted extensions or alternate arrangements for
assignrlent clefenses. Ilorvever, these circumstances must be
cournrunicatecl to the instructor well in advauce whenever possible.

Communication and Clarification: If students have any questions or

conceflis r"egarding the assignment defenses policy, they are
encouraged to reach out to the instructor for clarification.

Note: It is tire responsibility of each studeut to ensure they fulfill the

requirements for assignnrent def-enses in ordet'to be eligible to sit for
assignment defenses and the rnidternr and endtenn exams.

Late sublnissions: Late submissions and/or will

not be
det'enses
acccptccl. Any assignment submittcd aftcr the specified dcadline will
receive zero points. Most assignments will be discussed in class on the
duc datc. It
is cxpcctcd that all work will be subrnitted on tirne. All
graclings are bascd using a pcrccntagc grading scale.
 ory event, sttdents shottld nottfy the
coLil.se instructor. and request an extension oJ' the deadline Jbr
submis.siort. IJ' approvec{, a neh) tlate will be given to lhe .student
depending npon the circurn,stances bytlrc instnrctor.

Final exam:
The final exam for the course "Database Mauagement Systems"
inclucles final project defense. At the completion of the exam, all works
must be submitted in the Learning Management System
(lnoodle.astanait.edu.kz). No late subtlissions are allowed in the exam.

Laptops and mobile devices can only be used for classroom purposes
when dilected by the oourse instructor. Misuse of laptops or handheld
devices will be considered a breach of discipline and appropriate action
will be initiated by the instructor.

Online lessons can be used in case if there won't be a chance to make

offline traditional lessons. It t-t'tust not discourage the interest and
enthusiasm of students. The main software to run the online lessons is
Microsofl Teams for- video calls and live webinars, and Moodle
(r,noodle.astanait.eclu.kz) as a Learning Management System. Also,
some altetnatives such as Telegram, Zoom, or other messonger may be
involved as an additional workaround.

Cheating and plagiarism are dcllned in the Academic condttct policies

of the university and include:
1. Submitting work that is not your own papers, assignments, or exatns;
2. Copying ii"us, words, or graphics from a published or unpublished
source witlT out appropriatc citation;
3. Submitting or usiug falsified data;
4. Submitting tho same work for orcdit in two courses without prior
conseut of both instructors.
Any student who is found cheating or plagiarizing on any work forthis
course will receive 0 (zero) for that work and further actions will also
be taken regarding academic conduct policies of the university.

Academic Conduct Policies of the university: The full texts of all the
academic conduct code will be posted to the students using Learning
Managernent Systern (rrood le. astanait. edu.kz).

contacting the Course instructor: The easiest and most reliable way
to get in touch with the course insttuctor is by email. Students must feel
fi'ee to send ernail if you ltave a question related to the coufse. Instructor
I responds as soon as they can but not always instantaneously. Besides
that, students are also welcomed to arrange a one-to-one meeting with
the instructor by their offioe during office hours to discuss the class
ine both offline and online.

5. Methodological Guidelines
Asscssment is administercd continuously throughout the coursc. The students are rated
against their perfbl'mance in continuous rating administered throughout the semester (60%)
and summativc rating donc during the examination scssion (40%), total 100%. Continttous
rating is students' on-going perfbrmance in class and indcpendent work. Class work is asscssed
fbr attcndance, laboratory works' dcf'ense and in- class asscsslrents.
- ISIS (Instructor Supervised Student Independent Study) -comprises presentation to be
donc by students indcpendently and checked by instructor.
- Mid-term and End-term is a review of the topics covered aud assessmeut of
each stuclcnt's knowlodge. The form of tl-re midten'n aucl end tcrm exams is complcx.
- Final assessment for the oolrrse "Database Management Systems" includes Final
Exarnination Project Defense. The final exam is a project defense which covers both
theoretical and practical parts of the course. At the corlpletion of the exalr, all works must
be submitted in the Learning Marragement System (n-roodle.astanait.edu.kz), No late
