Software Engineering Essentials (SEECx) - Winter 20/21

Course Information:

  • Important: This course is intended for incoming master students who have to take a software engineering "bridge course" (Brückenkurs)
  • Language: English
  • Type: Online Course
  • Module: IN1504
  • ECTS Credits: 5
  • Time and Location: The course is an instructor-paced online course that will start on 15 November 2020 and last ~ 10-12 weeks. You can register for the course on http://ase.in.tum.de/seecx
    • TUM students can get a voucher, please contact us on Slack
  • Important: TUM students have to take the final assessment at the end of the semester monitored by TUM instructors

Important Information

  • Active participation is helpful.
  • TUM students pass the course if they earn at least 60% of the total exercise points.
  • TUM students can earn exercises points by successfully completing homework, project work and the final assessment:
  • The final assessment will be computer based at TUM on site at the end of the semester, more details will be announced in the course. 

Additional Information

Worldwide learners

  • Learners from all over the world participate in interactive exercises and the final assessment
  • They can start the final assessment online independently and then have 2 hours to answer all questions.
  • If they pass the course, they receive an online certificate from edX, but no ECTS from TUM.
  • Participation in the project work is voluntary, will not be assessed and is therefore not necessary for passing the course.

TUM students

  • TUM students who need a grade in TUMOnline participate in interactive exercises, project work and the final assessment (under supervision at the end of the semester at TUM onsite)
  • TUM students take the course as a bridge course (incoming master students) or might be able to use the ECTS otherwise (please talk to your study advisor if this is possible)
  • Important: They must complete the final assessment at the end of the semester under supervision (i.e. they cannot do it alone or at any other time)
  • The project work is assessed and taken into account for grading.

Content
