Course development

For the upcoming course offering, targeted adjustments will be introduced to further improve clarity and the student learning experience. A representative example exam reflecting the current hybrid examination format will be made available in advance to support exam preparation and reduce uncertainty. Coordination with teaching assistants will be strengthened, including clearer guidance for feedback during early project phases and the introduction of shared support material addressing commonly asked questions. Additional emphasis will be placed on communicating prerequisite knowledge and recommended self-study resources at the start of the course. The project component will be supported by clearer guidance regarding expected pacing and intermediate progress, while preserving the level of flexibility and student responsibility appropriate for a Master’s-level project-based course. In parallel, possibilities for introducing limited experimental or measurement-based elements into the project are being explored, subject to feasibility and available resources. Preparations will also continue for a possible transition towards a fully digital examination format, subject to technical feasibility and institutional readiness.
