Course Requirements
General Information about Seminars / Practical Courses / Projects
In our practical courses and projects students are usually working together in groups (around 4 people per group). Therefore, written documents ("Ausarbeitungen") and final presentations ("Abschlussvorträge") are carried out together. Each student will have to take care of a certain part of the text document and of the presentation. If possible, Bachelor and Master students will work together as well. The following tables define guidelines for submissions and presentations.
Project work should be carried out according to established software engineering processes. Therefore, students are encouraged to organize projects by means of detailed requirements analysis ("Lastenheft"), requirements specifications ("Pflichtenheft") and conceptual descriptions of the implemented software.
Deadlines for theses: In general you will first submit the written thesis and the corresponding final presentation will be scheduled afterwards.
Deadlines for other courses: In general you will first give the final presentation and the written documents will have to be submitted one week later.
