Before choosing course
The students perform an independent study, where they are responsible for formulating a question under study, which can be addressed with methods from computer science. They make their own choice of method and are responsible for the progress of the project. Results are reported both in writing and at an oral presentation.

Ethical approach
- All members of a group are responsible for the group's work.
- In any assessment, every student shall honestly disclose any help received and sources used.
- In an oral assessment, every student shall be able to present and answer questions about the entire assignment and solution.

Transitional regulations
From the spring semester 2021, new specific prerequisites apply, which are evident from this official course syllabus. Students who have started their studies before 01/07/2018 should, during a transitional period until the expiration of the autumn semester 2022, be considered to be qualified for admission if they meet the requirements for specific prerequisites that were set before the spring semester 2021 (that is, at least 101 credits of the compulsory courses in year 1, year 2 and period 1 in year 3 should be completed by November 1). For course offerings starting from the spring semester 2023, only the specific prerequisites of the current official course syllabus will apply.
