Assignments

Course readings can be downloaded in the learnweb. Every text has a wiki-page in the learnweb, please use to describe and summarize the text and link it to the course. Results of the discussion may also be written up in the learnweb.

Other deliverables can usually either be submitted through the Learnweb or presented in the course. There will be no compulsory assignments, but the content of assignments will be relevant for the exam.

Learnweb-submissions are usually to be in PDF-format:

  • txt is OK for text only or code
  • SVG, PNG and JPG is OK for images
  • mp3, wav and ogg is OK for audio
  • mp4 is OK for video
  • No files from word processors or graphic programs, please (doc, docx, odt) &emdash; those will not be marked
  • You can submit acceptable file types also in zip, gz, bz2, xz or rar archives

Only homework assignments will be listed here, group work assignments to be discussed during class can be found in the respective slide deck or handout.
