| Methods |
The exercise session applies a blended learning format, i.e., lecture in class and distance learning. The students are provided in advance with the related material, which is accomplished in class. In addition, there is an accompanying exercise (Übung), which students attend in the same semester. In the exercise part (UE), students receive different tasks and examples (typical problems in software development and data analysis) to solve. This allows students to assess if they are able to apply their knowledge. Possible results of these tasks and examples are discussed in class. For specific topics, there are additional examples and tasks, which are solved together in class. Students have to possibility, to reflect and discuss problems in class.
Exercise:
- Reflection and deepening of lecture content using practical examples
- Assignment and discussion of exercises
- Presentation and discussion of solutions by students and instructors

| Further information |
It is expected that students have basic knowledge in the application of Windows/Mac/Linux and application programs as well as on how to organize directories and files. Students are required to attend the corresponding lecture during the same semester.
