Courses are planned according to a semesterschedule, comprising 16 weeks of instruction and 2 weeks of exams. On average, each course isassigned 6 ECTS credits, which are equivalent to 180-hours student dedication.The study consisted in changing the methodology of the Relational Databases course (henceforth“DB course”) to an active learning one during second semester 2012. This course is mandatoryfor students of Industrial Engineering and Computer Engineering. Additionally, this course isprogrammed to be taken in the third year of the major, with the duration of the entire curriculumbeing six years. Up until the semester preceding
