ACIT4410 Agile Service Delivery and Developer Operations Course description

International marketing - "the process of focusing the resources and objectives of an organization on international marketing opportunities" (Keegan, 2002) - is an arena of increasing interest and concern throughout the world. The students will acquire an understanding of the essentials of international marketing management - avoiding the basic principles of marketing and strategy that they are already familiar with

The textbook and articles offer a theoretical framework and platform for the course, while many of the class sessions will emphasize the practical aspects of international marketing.

The course material is presented through lectures, discussions in class and group work. Students will present their literature reviews and case analyses group wise (maximum three persons).

The following coursework requirements must be met before the student can take the exam:

• a minimum attendance of 80 % in seminars and skills training.

The beginning of the course will focus of familiarizing oneself with the technologies used in building and delivering high-volume services. This will include containers and similar technologies, load balancing, automated testing and revision control systems. The students will put these technologies to the test in exercises in our lab environment.

All of the presented topics are relevant for the project which the students will work on and are continuously revised to be close to current industry practices. The focus is on providing an essence of each topic, which allows the student to get a large overview of the state-of-the-art of modern service delivery. The projects allow students to go deeper on a select set of technologies from the initial overview and apply them on a specific case.

Portfolio assessment: Individual portfolio comprising three written assignments. Total scope: 6,000-7,000 words.

Weighting: One overall grade is awarded based on the portfolio. All three assignments in the portfolio count equally with respect to grading, but if an F is awarded for one of the assignments, the overall grade will also be an F.

Resit exam: Students will be given one opportunity to submit a reworked version of the portfolio assignment(s) for which an F was awarded.

All aids are permitted, as long as the rules for source referencing are complied with.

The final written four-hour exam will be evaluated by both an internal and external examiner, while the portfolio will be evaluated by the course instructor only.

All answers are assessed by two examiners. An external examiner is used regularly, at a minimum of every third completion of the course. When selecting answers for external evaluation, a minimum of 10 percent of the answers shall be included, with no fewer than 5 answers. The external examiner’s assessment of the selected answers shall benefit all students.

• 10 credits overlap with the course ORTO1000 Introduction to Prosthetics and Orthotics.

MGKP5100 skal gi studentene mulighet til å opparbeide inngående kunnskaper om hvordan forskning på kroppsøving og kroppsøvingsdidaktikk kan gjennomføres. I emnet gis studentene mulighet til å oppøve ferdigheter i å lokalisere relevante tema for utforsking og designe et avgrenset forskningsprosjekt knyttet til fagområdet, samt å øve på utvalgte forskningsmetoder. Dette innebærer også kunnskaper om hvordan kunnskapsoversikter utarbeides og ferdigheter i å utarbeide en kunnskapsoversikt knyttet til et avgrenset tema.
