Lab Exercises in Learnteam Coaching

We will do the same lab exercises as with on-site teaching - thus, some parts of the lab assignments do not apply.

The labs are structured in a Pre-Lab section and the core lab assignment. Include the pre-lab assignment in your individual study. You can choose to either work on the assignment individually or as a pair. Either way, make sure that you get your share of on-hand programming.

Grading: Lab Reports

You will need to write a report each week, which should not be more than 5 pages and in PDF format, with your name on it. The report must be in English or German. In consists of two parts:

The report on the lab assignment, spell-checked and using complete sentences, explaining what you did in the exercise session, that is, the process. Screenshots are welcome. This part may be written together with others in your team and exchanged within your team. Thus, include the name of all authors in this part.
a reflection on what you learned during the session, which is your personal, individual summary.

Additionally, you upload a zip of your solution’s source code.

Both must be submitted individually to the Moodle area by 22.00 on thursday night.

Programming Assessment

{% comment %}

What happens in a lab?

Programming is something you can’t learn out of a book – you have try out things yourself and practice! Therefore, this class will have lots of exercises. In the Labs you will have opportunity to work on them, and, most importantly, ask questions or discuss it with others if something is unclear to you or you are stuck somewhere.

Structure of the Exercises

Each exercise has a Pre-Lab section. preperatory work that you are expected to complete - together with reading through the whole exercise - before coming to lab.

Group Work

Labs and lab reports will be done in groups of three. These groups will be formed at random at the beginning of each lab. Each group member gets the same grade for the lab report that gets handed in.

I could not attend the lab…

Please post in the appropriate Moodle forum. You will be assigned a group. I expect you to do the exercises anyway and hand in a lab report.

I can generally not attend the lab on any specific day…

You can switch during the “Restplatzbelegungszeitraum”. Find someone who wants to swap places with you, then come talk to me (Linda).

I have another problem!

Talk to me! You can even do it anonymousely on Moodle.
