Students must install the software used in the course on their own PC’s – details will be provided on LearnIT before the start of the semester.
Apps can be tested on standard Android phones (older versions ok). Instruction on how to install the necessary software is given in the first week of the course. |
| Obligatoriske aktivititer: | Activities:
Students must hand in solutions to weekly assignments. These will be graded (approved/not approved)
Feedback:
