This course is net-based hence your learning process and experience might differ from standard class teaching style. Technically, the course is structured in five seminars, each taking place at the IT University of Copenhagen and each falling on a Saturday. 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 Luvit 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 Luvit 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 a research paper to comment upon. You will be emailed a user-name and a password to sign into the Luvit system a few days before the first seminar.
