Lectures: The course will feature a minimum of 11 lectures, with associated exercises. Lectures will be prepared and given by the students and the course provider, on an approximately equal basis.

When presenting, 1-2 students will usually be responsible, deciding among themselves how to divide the topic and contents. Lectures will be rounded off by a few discussion topics defined by the presenters, and feedback provided to presenters in terms of presentation quality, clarity, style etc. The students will to a wide degree be able to influence the content of the lectures, and students not presenting material will be expected to prepare discussion points and questions.

Semester weeks 8 and 11 do not have lectures but may feature exercise tasks.

Exercises: The exercises will vary according to the specific topic. Each exercise will be finalized with a short presentation or with a short written assignment, e.g. a business plan or a report, written as if developed for an actual industry situation. Written assignments will also form the basis for brief presentations in class.

Each week will contain 2 hours of lectures and 3 hours of exercises in average (specifics will vary), performed individually or in groups, in the field or at the university. The course provider will manage the exercises, which will be conducted both in-house at the university and outside, e.g. in game shops.

Workload: Expected to be 10 hours per week.

Primary project: Throughout the semester, each student will create a written report on a topic relevant to the course (10-25 pages), acting as preparation for their Master’s. Thesis or similar specialization. The topic is defined in conjunction between the course provider and the students. It can be written individually or in groups.

Report hand-in-date is December 17th, 2008, 12:00 to the Exam Office
(ITU). Reports can be done in groups or individually - if you write in a group it needs to be clearly documented who wrote what parts of the report. 3 printed copies of reports must be handed in. The students will receive their grades based on how well they demonstrate reaching the learning outcomes.
