Seminar period 2 2017/2018: The study visit and employability

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 other group members' reflection documents.

Preparations for the reflection

The first intended learning outcome of DD2300 is "compare different workplaces and professions relevant to computer scientists".

• Make a study visit (between October 26 and November 23).
• Investigate, using only public sources, how the company you visited is recruiting computer scientists. Is the company advertising in newspapers? Advertising on its web site? Visiting Armada or D-dagen? In some other way?

If you missed the study visit

If you missed the study visit you will need to do the following extra preparation for the seminar.

• There are several business associations relevant to masters of computer science. Such organizations could either have  computer science companies or computer scientists as members. Find one (relevant) business association organizing companies and one organizing people. Look up the web sites of these associations and find some information about them. Then use them instead of the company in the four reflection points, when you write your reflection. The reflection should be 600-800 words instead of at least 500 words.
