Examination arrangement

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. Presentation related to the project is mandatory, and all project members must participate. The process, the reports, the final product, and the presentation all matter. Each part must be passed. Individual grades can be given even if the project is carried out in groups. The right of appeal is applicable to the entire project.
