The focus of the PBL teaching in SEP1 is LEARNING TO LEARN, project methodology and PBL, including a basic introduction to study techniques and team-based project work.

Knowledge

The student will use the knowledge acquired in SDJ1, WEB1 and DMA1.

Evaluation

Examination

Exam prerequisites:
None

Type of examination:
Group exam with individual assessment.
Exam is based on the project report and process report, which must be submitted before deadline and apply with the formalities criteria stated under the Software Engineering specific Guidelines.
Group presentation of 5 minutes times the number of group members followed by a joint examination of 15 minutes times the number of group members including voting.
Individual grades are given on the basis of an overall assessment of the submitted work as well as the individual´s performance during the examination.
Internal assessment.

Tools allowed:

Students who fail a semester project must attend an information meeting at the end of the summer exam period.
At this meeting, students will be notified about the process of the re-exam and students will form groups.
Deadline for hand in of the project is mid-August (exact date will be informed at the meeting). There will be no guidance in the period up to hand in.
