Learning methods and activities
Online study. Lessons and compulsory exercises.
Further on evaluation
The course consists of 6-8 mandatory programming exercises that are approved as we go along.
The excercises have equal weighting, with a due date of in the beginning of November. Delivery in our LMS.
Guidance will be given through the LMS.
Additionally, an independent project has to be carried out. During the project the student has to choose technology, argue for the chosen solution (in a document), and deliver a running application.
The project will be published in the first half of oktober, and delivery will be in the end of November (at the latest). It'll have estimated time consumption of 67 hours. Delivery of product and video demonstration will be in the LMS or Inspera. All exercises have to be approved to get the project evaluated.
In case of voluntary repetition, fail (F), or valid absence, the course must be retaken in a semester with teaching.
Specific conditions
Admission to a programme of study is required:
