Meetings and Time

The class is a practical class; we only meet once a week for 2.25 hrs (see LSF) - but it has 5 ECTS Points, which means that you will have to work 125-150 h altogether for this class - with 17 weeks in the semester this is something about 7.5 - 9 hrs or roughly one day each week!

Structure and Grades Requirements

This is a practical class during which you will do

  • a design sprint
  • develop a web app (or parts of it)
  • write a part of a web technology book
  • assess the usability and security of the web app

You will need to work on each of this parts throughout the semester. The four parts will be concluded with reports and or presentations, which will be part of the grading.

Details will follow as soon as teams and topics emerge.

Language

This class will be held in german, but all (or almost all) written material will be in English. You are free to choose either language for your written assignments; as long as you don’t switch languages within one sentence and do your best to adhere to the grammar and spelling rules of the respective language.
