Flipped classroom teachings
All lectures has been filmed and put on YouTube. Before some classes it is expected that you as students have watched and taken notes for video that prepares you for the class.
This means that we as teacher will do very little traditional teaching. The classes will instead be spent on exercises, projects, pair programming, quizzes etc. We as teachers can spend more time on guiding and helping you through tough problems.
Project based learning
