23. The study – how we work We are about 20 students – About half with MM background – About half with CS background Many different nationalities Many different cultures

24. The study – how we work You are (hopefully) – Adults – Mature – Have chosen to be here voluntarily – Here to learn So we expect you to be – Active – Prepared – Tolerant and respectful (both to the teacher and other students!)

25. The study – how we work In class, it is OK to – Ask questions (!), in English – Solve exercises together – Ask others for help – Bring and consume a ”neutral drink” (bottle of water, soft drink, etc.) – Put your cell phone on silent mode… – Do something else while seated at the computer, but quietly…

26. The study – how we work In class, it is not OK to – Talking on your cell phone – Talk loudly about irrelevant matters – Behave noisily in general – Disrespect others, if they e.g. ask what you consider a trivial question – Eat while seated at the PC – Sleep in class…

27. The study – how we work How much am I supposed to work? A bit of math: – Each semester is 30 ECTS – 1 ECTS is about 27 hours of work – So, each semester represents 800 hours of work – A semester is about 20 weeks, including the exam period – About 40 hours of work each week

28. The study – how we work But…didn’t we have 17 classes per week?

29. The study – how we work The majority of work is done at home! – Study the curriculum proactively – Explore the tools – Practice! Having e.g. a full-time job along with the study will be very difficult

30. The study – how we work

31. Main learning elements – Teacher lectures – Classroom exercises – Projects – Self study

32. The study – how we work Teacher-driven Student-driven IntroductoryApplied Teacher lectures Self-study Classroom exercises Projects

33. Walking tour of the school In general, the school is open from early in the morning (7.00), until late afternoon (17.00) With a student card, you can stay at the school until 22.00 on weekdays…

36. Hardware & Software The preferred hardware platform at the school is Windows (like it or not…) You can use a Mac, BUT you will have to be able to install Windows software on it! Different options – Dual boot (BootCamp) – Virtual machine (Parallels, VirtualBox,…)

37. Hardware & Software The school will provide access to the development tools we use (Visual Studio) A decent drawing tool will also be useful If you need a Windows 7 copy for dual boot on a MAC, you can buy it at the school for a very low price Don’t panic if you do not have everything up and running on day 1…
