M catalogue
Regulations
In the M catalogue you will find four modules offered by the Faculty of Media: 3D Animation Technologies (81.2002), Game Development (81.2004), Interaction & Interface Design (81.2008), Online Communication (81.2006). These correspond to the respective current study programmes of the Media faculty. Specific versions of these modules are offered each semester - similar to how the System Development project is offered each semester with different specific projects. To give you maximum flexibility, you can also take two versions of a module, i.e. you could specialise in Game Development and choose two offerings from this.
The places of students who do not attend the first date will be allocated to other Media students. Unfortunately, I cannot deactivate the remaining place allocation, which is only valid until the first date, after which you are not entitled to a place on the course. Exceptions are absences due to illness, which must be reported to the lecturer by email at the time of the appointment.
For block courses or courses that start later, places must be confirmed by e-mail immediately after allocation. Please be fair and cancel allocated but unused places so that other students can attend the course.
Below you will find the contents and organisational information sorted by semester:
