Didactic Concept:
The content of the lectures is elaborated in 4 practical assignments in teams of 3 students. Additionally, 2 written exams validate comprehension. One of these exams may be repeated.

Effort for the student:

Attending lectures                                               9 x 1,5 h  =  13,5 h
Preparing assignments                                       4 x 9,5 h  =  38 h
Preparing for assignment reviews                   2 x 45 min  =  1,5 h
Presenting assignments                                  2 x 30 min  =    1 h
Learning for tests                                                 2 x 10 h  =   20 h
Attending tests                                                  2 x 30 min  =    1 h
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total effort:                                                                               75 h

The theoretical part and the practical part affect the grade at a ratio of 1:1.

Practical Part:
The practical part consists of 4 assignments which are elaborated in teams of 3 students. Three of these assignment has to be presented at an assignment review, where required functionality of the solution as well as each student's comprehension of concepts and techniques is individually assessed.
A positive grading requires at least 30 % of obtainable points of each assignment. Overall, at least 51 % of the 4 assignments' points have to be reached.

Theoretical Part:
There are 2 mandatory written exams throughout the term. Each of the two exams must be positive (at least 51 % of the points). One of the two exams (xor) may be repeated at the end of the term.

The lecture slides can be found in the TUWEL course.

Participation in this course is regulated by STEOP.

Basic knowledge of the course "Semistructured Data", which is offered in conjunction with Web Engineering, in particular XML, is required.
