Course analysis MJ2514: 20 Oct 2025Changes introduced for this course offering
o Workload: it was re-calculated and verified that the students’ expected workload is safely within the hours for the 3 ECTS. It was decided to explain the expectations more clearly at the introduction lecture, emphasizing the project work is a group work, where each member should contribute sufficiently in both modelling and report writing, to avoid overburdening other members. o PRO (project work) description was further refined for better clarity, and was introduced more already at the course introduction lecture, and also was introduced earlier during the software tutorial sessions o The instructions were modified and refined for the in-class discussions (seminar) sessions. o The Q&A session start was still maintained at the top of the hour, to ensure 1 hour sessions for the students. As the sessions were recorded and the students could still join when they could within the given hour, it was deemed sufficient, while making the best use of the industry teams’ time that was given for free o More freedom was indeed possible even in VT23, where this was explained more clearly at several instances through the course, that they can discuss with the teachers and decide if in doubt, concerning the technical solutions that can be chosen in the project work o The word length required for the project work report was shortened from 8000-10000 words to be 4000-6000 words, and was explained that this is negotiable if needed, especially if some groups want to have more details. o The teachers were available more at the scheduled PRO group work sessions where the students were working on the PRO work in their groups, to help with Q&A on-site o It was communicated that students are welcome to contact the teachers also in-between the Q&A sessions if they have critical problems, while the questions’ submission deadlines were meant to allow sufficient time for the industry team to prepare for the questions better.Course data has been registered manually
