Course abstract
The aim of the course work is to strengthen the knowledge acquired during the study course System Analysis and Modeling InfT2041 and to learn how to sequentially create analysis and models of system structure and functionality. Students need to independently choose a system, model and sign its structure and scope.
Learning outcomes and their assessment
1. Knowledge: about the types and basic principles of systems analysis and modeling, UML and business process notations, as well as insight into other modeling languages.
2. Skills: read and create UML and business process diagrams.
3. Competences: independently analyze and describe systems using modeling languages and tools.

Requirements for awarding credit points
The project need to be developed according to the requirements of the faculty and defended.
Description of the organization and tasks of students’ independent work
At the beginning of the semester, students receive coursework requirements and evaluation criteria. Each student needs to choose a topic individually and coordinate it with the teacher. During the semester, the coursework must be developed according to the requirements. During the session, the course work is defended.
Criteria for Evaluating Learning Outcomes
