Please note: Because of COVID, commitments of the guest teacher for the lecture and workshop related to creativity have changed and we needed to reschedule l4, l5, l6, and w2. These changes may take a bit before they show on TimeEdit. This page is now updated to show the correct dates.

The Requirements Engineering course is composed of two parts:

Lectures and Workshops in class and
Project work.

This page describes the lectures and workshops in a timeline.

Note that while working in a project group, you will need to schedule additional time with your group and your group's supervisor.

We are currently scheduling additional informal meetings called a "Reuqirements Engineering Cafe", where any topics can be brought up in a relaxed environment, while sharing a virtual coffee (or your choice of beverage).

It appears that TimeEdit is not yet showing the dates, thus we share this manually created list now. We will make an effort to keep it in sync with TimeEdit, but please let us know about any inconsistency you identify.

For some workshops, not all groups will work at the same time. We will allow the groups to sign up for individual timeslots early in the course.
