Course Info

The following list shows the specializations for all the computer science students. Some of you will work on the same topic but from different angles. In such cases, make sure to work on the overlapping parts together. You can then present together the overlapping parts, but talk individually about your specific perspectives.

We've given you sources to start researching your topic. We expect from you to find additional sources, do not just rely on the sources we give you! The questions we provided should help you get started and to get ideas about from what perspective you should look at the topic. However, you should include anything you think is important in your presentation.

Let us know if you have any questions or concerns.
