Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

In this course, students acquire fundamental knowledge and competencies in networked and cooperative systems. They understand important state-of-the-art technical aspects (e.g., in the areas of WLAN technology and IPv6) and can understand networked systems from a basic socio-economic and user-centric perspective.

The course comprises lectures as well as practical exercises and two accompanying reading seminars. The lectures deal with advanced technical aspects of communication networks and give an overview about important aspects of interaction design, user experience and innovation methods of cooperative systems.

The practical part comprises a case study which will be performed in small groups, including presentation of the result and a written paper.

During the accompanying seminars, fundamental texts on socioeconomic and user-centric aspects of networked systems will be jointly read. Students have the task to present individual chapters and lead the related discussion.

During the entire course, students are required to be present.

Assessment and permitted materials

Performance will be graded by
- active lecture participation (individually and in groups),
- written quizzes during the lecture meetings (individually),
- a presentation (in small groups),
- a practical programming task (in small groups),
- a written paper (in small groups),
- two seminar presentations (individual)

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

- Quizzes on lectures (30%),
- Book seminar presentation and quizzes (30%),
- Project programming, presentation and paper (40%),

1 (sehr gut) 100%-89%
2 (gut) 88%-76%
3 (befriedigend) 75%-63%
4 (genügend) 62%-50%
5 (nicht genügend) below 50%

For a passing grade, you are allowed to miss class no more than two times; moreover at least 50% of the points must be achieved for presentations, quizzes, programming and paper each. If the conditions for passing are fulfilled (50%), the final mark may be improved by additional points for active engagement during the lectures or with related research projects etc.
