Exercise Classes

The exercise classes have two objectives. First, assignments concerning the theory taught in the lecture will be given (about one week in advance). These have to be prepared by the students and are then discussed during class. Secondly, the lecture will be accompanied by a software project, in which we try to implement some ideas into a larger system. This will be done as a joint group work. The development will partly be done during the exercise classes. However, further development outside the class might be necessary to complete the project. We expect active involvement of all students, both in the project and the theoretical assignments.

Requirements for Class Fulfillment

At the end of the course, there will be an oral exam. As a prerequisite, we expect active involvement in the exercise classes.

Materials

We will provide lecture slides, assignment sheets, and further material during the course.
