Final Projects
The final project will be to implement a visualization application, which solves a simple medical or biological problem. You will be required to hand in the implemented visualization and a 1–2 page summary of your work. The outcome will be presented during a dedicated session at the end of the course. More information about the final projects will be uploaded later.
Oral Exams
This year we will be holding online oral exams at the end of January (see dates above). Please register using TUWEL. The exam will take 15 minutes and makes up 35% of your final grade. As with all other sub-parts of this course, you need at least 50% on the exam to pass the course. Each student will have to answer two questions, based on lectures 1-8 (including the invited talks).
