Teaching methods
Students participating the course are organized in groups where they work together and without supervision on a given project. Students are expected to report the status of the work regularly and to consult problems they encounter, if necessary. Project topics are fixed and acknowledged by the teacher during the first 2 weeks of semester.
Assessment methods
To be given a credit, a group must present 100% functional implementation, appropriate documentation, and present a final report summarizing experience gained.
