THE WIN-WIN OF SYNCHRONIZING LAST SEMESTER’S COMPUTER ENGINEERING COURSES

THE WIN-WIN OF SYNCHRONIZING LAST SEMESTER’S COMPUTER ENGINEERING COURSES

K. Klonowska, F. Frisk, D. Einarson (2021).  THE WIN-WIN OF SYNCHRONIZING LAST SEMESTER’S COMPUTER ENGINEERING COURSES. 10.

This contribution addresses how two parallel courses during the last semester have been synchronized, where one is a course for Degree project. This is to give students a greater chance to complete the courses on time, and at the same time create a greater understanding of complicated problems. Observations have previously been made where students found it hard to take in, and finish the last semester's courses, at the same time as they complete their studies through their Degree project. Extensive revisions have been made to the parallel courses, where both basic course structures and contents have been taken into account. Clear improvements have been seen, both through course results, and based on students' comments.
