SEMINAR DESCRIPTION

This seminar has a special focus on empirical methods. We will introduce both qualitative and quantitative methods such as surveys, interviews, observations, content analysis, and experiments and discuss potential applications in software projects. In particular, the seminar discusses the application of empirical methods to software comprehension, collaboration and knowledge sharing in software projects, requirements engineering, and software architecture.

This seminar will represent the exercise part of the module. We will combine the scientific literature survey, case-based teaching method with a gamification approach.
