Designing Interactive Systems 2 – SS2012
Course schedule is tentative and subject to change. Links to lecture notes and assignments will be posted as the semester progresses.
Announcements
Date clash on July 18: due to a mistake, the date on this website did not correspond to the exam date in Campus. As your registration for class and exam is handled by Campus, the 18.07. is the correct date. We were reported that this date clashes with some other exam in Bonn. Since this is, as announced below, a special lecture, designed for a handful of students whose study plans require this lecture this year (which means, they REALLY CAN NOT take this lecture next year), we kindly ask you to take the exam on the second chance date if there is a conflict on the first date. If you have another exam on the first date, this will not count as a mistrial.
Due to Prof. Borchers' sabbatical this semester, the course will only be available in a reduced format. This means, that students will watch video recordings of last years lecture and can ask questions regarding these recordings in a dedicated question session. Details on the course structure will be provided in the introduction lecture on April 4th.
We recommend waiting for next year's DIS 2 class for students who don't need to attend the course right away.
- The lecture videos can be found on iTunes U. Follow this link.
- Bachelor students will not be able to take this course as an advanced master's course.
