Course Grading

Design teams of students will jointly create a new digital service addressing an urban challenge. The design process will cover business model design, conceptualization and prototypical implementation. The grading of the seminar will be based on the deliverables created by the design teams (80%) and students’ interactive discussions (20%) within the course. The deliverables will be assessed along the following criteria: application of design methods with primary and secondary research, logical structure, line and consistency of argumentation, feasibility assessment (incl. degree of implementation), practical relevancy, team work, presentation quality.

 

Course Materials

Students will be provided with all necessary materials before each session. Therefore, the material will be uploaded in the ILIAS Portal.
