Welcome to the homepage of 2DV600 for the year 2021. The main topics covered in the course include a quick introduction to object-oriented programming in Java, software testing, data structures, algorithms, time complexity, regular expressions, and context-free grammars.

Course Language: English

Course Start: Monday, August 30, 2021

This course on advanced beam theory comprises loading of beams in axial and transversal directions, bending and torsion. Beam theories for bending according to Bernoulli-Euler and Timoshenko are covered as well as theories for torsion according to St Venant and Vlasov. The course also covers the basics of theory for analysis of instability in a beam. Stress states in for example thin walled beams with open cross sections, and in beams with cross sections that vary in axial direction are calculated and discussed.

This course is created because of a need for updating the thinking and applying of methods in humanities and social science. The need consists of on the one hand to understand and make use of digital media in various scientific studies. On the other hand the need is to understand and make use of relevant methods including digital methods when studying digital media. At the same time, there is a need for discernment in relation to the wealth of information that lay readily before us on various platforms throughout the digital world: how can we as scholars use this information for our own projects in the best way? How do we use it in an ethically sound way?

Therefore, this is a course for students interested in advancing knowledge on the importance of understanding digital media in general as a framework, to include ethical aspects and also the ability to apply concrete sampling and analysis methods for digital media.

The course covers how digital media change culture and social relations and how this affects scientific sampling and analysis methods. The course further develops ethical approaches for the collection of research materials. Through various theoretical starting points research data is analysed. During the course you will try various digital techniques to analyse and visualise data.

This is an online course for 7.5 credits and it is adapted to an advanced level. Therefore, we as lecturers build on and deepen the knowledge, skills and abilities that you as students have gained at the graduate level in a humanistic or social science discipline. The pace for the course is a so called quarter speed. This means that you will devote about a day a week for the course. We as teachers will guide your effort during the course by giving assignments continuously throughout the course.

Teaching and learning will take place through a MyMoodle course web site. You are expected to visit the course web site every week. The course is structured as themes, or course modules. This first course module is “Introducing digital media, theory and method”. Second module is “Understanding contexts and approaches”. Third module is “Sampling methods”. Fourth module is “Analysis methods”. Fifth and concluding module is “Exam”.

For every course module you are expected to watch video lectures with attached assignments, to take part of assigned resources, read about news from teachers and students and to contribute to moderated discussions in Forum, seminar. Communication with us teachers takes place through the course web site in assigned communication forum Questions for teacher. When individual communication is needed, you can email us.

Welcome to the course in Feasibility Studies. This is a course where you carry out a project related to a renewable energy project and present the work in a report and a presentation. The projects are carried out in groups of 3 to 6 persons.

Welcome to a series of workshops as part of your individual work on the master’s thesis. The workshops will be held by Eleonora Poggio and myself, Birgit Tremml-Werner. They are designed in a way that provides you support and essential information for the formal thesis writing and the examination process.  Focusing on specific themes and tasks, the workshop will get you started with the nitty gritty of research and support you in the working process. We suggest the following schedule:

Friday, 9 April 2021 Purpose and goal of writing a master’s thesis at LNU (45 or 60 ECTS), search for a supervisor, thesis regulations, writing hints and presentation skills

Friday, 23 April 2021

Friday, 7 May 2021

Friday, 21 May 2021

Final assignment: A working introduction (following Umberto Eco) written in academic style with sections on the choice of topic, relevance, methodology and research question and discussion of the state of the art. Approx. 3,000 words.

Course participants is compulsory and counts 4 ECTS of the total of the master’s thesis of 45 or 60 ECTS respectively. Participants will be asked to deliver short oral and/or written assignments.

+change! 

This semester is dedicated to the design approach meta-design, where the designer aims to be an active part in change-processes using designerly means. The semester is planned as a whole, where the different parts build on each other towards you carrying out a change-project as well as discussing, critically evaluating and contextualizing the design process from the perspective of sustainability. 

To apply and practice the learning focuses of this course, you will work on one design project for the entire semester. The theme for this project will be Surplus of Homes.
