About

About the course

Course content

Students must independently plan and carry out a specialization project, preferably with an external client. For some, this project will serve as a preliminary project for the bachelor thesis. Students will implement a minor system and will be trained in system and project documentation.

Learning outcome

Knowledge

The candidate can:

  • argue and justify the choice of method and technology for a given project.

Skills

The candidate can:

  • carry out an independent project where in many cases, there will be an external client.
  • independently carry out the necessary process and produce the necessary program code and documentation according to the project description and chosen method.

General competence

The candidate can:

  • convey subject matter in writing and orally
  • integrate previously acquired knowledge and be able to acquire new knowledge in solving a problem
  • independently initiate and carry out smaller projects and justify choices made during the project

Learning methods and activities

The assignment is carried out as independent project work with supervision meetings. It is the students' responsibility to request guidance meetings. The project is normally carried out in groups of 2-3 people. Upon application, a dispensation from the rule on group work can be granted so that a person can carry out the project alone.

Further on evaluation

According to a method and end product (usually executable program and source code), documentation must be submitted. Program code must be in English.

The students must initiate project meetings (at least one) with the subject teacher.

A group project consisting of the process, the reports, the presentation and the final product. All of which counts towards the final grade. All parts must be passed in order to receive a grade.

All students in the group normally receive the same grade based on the group submission. In special cases where a student has not contributed sufficiently, the student may be given an individual grade based on documented lack of effort and/or workload.

The right of appeal is applicable to the entire project.

In the event of voluntary repetition, fail (F) or valid absence, the entire course must be retaken in a semester with teaching.
