Format
This course offers a mixture of lectures, discussions, and case studies. This allows the students to actively learn during the lecture and in preparation before and after the lecture based on concrete examples.
Topics will be introduced by presentations triggering the essence of the area. The deepening then is done by reading scientific papers and book chapters. A discussion based on examples or case studies completes specific topics.
OLAT Course
All complementary material will be made available in a dedicated OLAT-Resource for Advanced Software Engineering. The course material, for example, slides, exercises, tools, etc., can be found there. It also contains a forum, where we will occasionally post announcements and answer questions related to the lecture in a timely fashion.
Exercises
The course includes mandatory exercises that are to be solved individually. If there is an exercise published, it usually has to be solved and handed in before the next lecture (Sunday, 24:00).
Exam
There will be an oral exam. The exam dates are Monday, 10.06.2013, and Tuesday, 11.06.2013. See the exam schedule in OLAT for the list of participants and time slots.
