Teaching Method

Outline:

The instructor who have been developing and researching software in a company will take advantage of their experience to teach in class. The basics of software development in theory will be taught using textbooks, also the actual developments at the field will be introduced.

Style:

Classes, exercises and the actual developments at the field

Notice:

As the members performing group work will be drawn randomly from students who had registered to the course, and it involves knowledge from the first and second semester, it is important to be careful not to miss classes as well as the days of group work.
Students who miss 1/3 or more of classes will not be eligible for a passing grade.
