The computer science master's program, reflection seminar in September 2018
Here you find instructions for how to prepare for the seminar and the group schedule of the seminar. Before the seminar, you also need to write a reflection document and read and comment on other group members' reflection documents.
Preparations for the reflection
- If you started the DD2300 prosamm course this year, read the course memo (kurs-PM) for prosamm18, in particular, the section "The reflection seminars".
- If you are not used to reflective writing, look at this video.
- Find which group you belong to by looking up your results of the course under grades/omdömen in Canvas. Look for "Group number, fall", a number between 1 and 24. In order to make the groups of the same size, some students from the second have got a new group number, so everyone needs to check.
- The second cycle in the Bologna system (see Further reading below) is called avancerad nivå ("advanced level") in Swedish. Master's programs belong to the second cycle.
- Read the qualitative targets (examensmålen) for the degree of master according to the Swedish Higher Education Ordinance (Högskoleförordningen).
- Read the objectives of the master's program.
- Read the program director's description of the structure of the Computer Science master's program Download description of the structure of the Computer Science master's program.
- Look at the flow charts Download flow charts that visualize the courses of the tracks of the program (for students starting 2018).
- Check the formal list of courses and tracks in the official program syllabus for your year (prosamm18 or prosamm17).

D-dagen October 11
Next activity in the prosamm course is D-dagen, which is a career fair organized by the computer science in engineering students at Nymble. We recommend every student to visit the career fair, but it is not mandatory. The scheduled prosamm activity October 11 is just a way to assure that every student will have time to visit D-dagen.
Study visits in October and November
The first intended learning outcome of DD2300 is "compare different workplaces and professions relevant to computer scientists". In order to make you fulfill this learning outcome, you will visit an IT company each year in the course and reflect on the visit at the next seminar. The study visits 2018 will take place between October 18 and November 15, always on Thursdays after 15.00.
Every student should sign up for one study visit. Sign up in the beginning of October. More information will be posted in the Canvas course room.

The European Bologna agreement of higher education was made in 1999. The so-called Bologna process has recently been extended beyond 2020. Read more about it on the European Higher Education Area Links to an external site. web site. Currently, 48 countries have signed this agreement. It might also be interesting to read the section second cycle qualification (Master) on page 2 in the text known as the Dublin descriptors, since the agreement was signed in Dublin.
There is also a European quality assurance agreement, called ESG - Standards and guidelines for quality assurance in the European higher education area.
