DD2463 Advanced Individual Course in Computer Science 15.0 credits

The course gives a possibility to students with a special interest in computer science to specialise in their own area of interest and solve a design- or investigative assignment in computer science with limited supervision. Both course content and assessment are designed individually for each student. The student should contact the person responsible for their specialization or other teacher, and thereafter contact the course coordinator. The course can only be offered if the department has enough resources and skills in the current field.

No instruction is given in this course.

After passing the course, the student should be able to

• independently plan, carry out, report and defend a design- or investigative assignment in the computer science field
• acquire and evaluate information applicable for carrying out the task
• choose a course of approach and define, follow and follow up a plan for carrying out the task in a given resource budget,
• write legible reports in English or Swedish that satisfy established norms as to structure, language and contents
• orally report a work with certain requirements of preparation, structure, style and time
• show increased knowledge and skills in a computer science problem area.

Knowledge in basic computer science, 6 credits, equivalent to completed course DD1338/DD1320-DD1328/DD2325/ID1020/ID1021.

Knowledge in discrete mathematics, 6 higher education credits, equivalent to completed course SF1610/SF1630/SF1662/SF1679/SF1688.

Depends on the course content.

• ÖVN1 - Exercises, 15.0 credits, grading scale: A, B, C, D, E, FX, F

Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.

The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.

If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.

Since this is an individually designed course, the examination formats vary. Written reporting in the form of a simple report can often be appropriate. The course is reported as Exercises (ÖVN1; 15 higher education credits).
