This course is net-based hence your learning process and experience might differ from standard class teaching style. The course includes teaching over the internet, studies at home and 5 (five) seminars taking place at the IT University of Copenhagen. Each seminar at ITU falls on a Saturday.

The 5 (five) seminars at ITU will start at 10:30 and end at 19:00. Within that period there will be a lunch break. The seminars at ITU will take place on the following Saturdays:

Saturday 03 September, 2011
Saturday 10 September, 2011

In between seminars, you are expected to revise the material discussed in the previous class(es), read the material for the upcoming class and complete any given assignments.

The learning management system (LMS) online platform will be the foundation for any interaction with your fellow students and your instructor. You are strongly encouraged to interact with your fellow students over the Internet to discuss and sort out any issues and open questions that might arise from task assignments and teaching materials. To that extent, you will be required to use the LMS to upload your assignments, and expected to spontaneously participate in online discussions, to comment on other’s student solutions and to take part to course related chat sessions. During the course, you will also be assigned mandatory weekly assignments and a set of research papers to comment upon.

You will be emailed a user-name and a password to sign into the LMS system a few days before the first seminar. Other instructions on that will follow by email.

You will be able to access the LMS platform around the clock, 24x7.

It is expected that one will use approximately 12,5 hours a week on this course, all included 

The duration of the written examination is 4 hour(s).
