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

able to install Windows software on it!
• Different options
– Dual boot (BootCamp)
– Virtual machine (Parallels, VirtualBox,…)
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…
