## Course design

Student teams build working software with low-code tooling over a whole term. The project is the core of the course, not a final task added at the end. I designed the course at the University of Bremen and taught it in Winter 2023/24 and 2024/25.

## Assessment

The written final examination is replaced by a digital portfolio. Teams and students record their decisions across the project, and the portfolio is what gets assessed. The assessment is fully online.

## Evaluation

My aggregate course evaluations for this course are among the strongest I have received.
