Schedule for OMDE601 Spring 2002

Due to scheduling problems we had to delay the conference with Prof. Dr. B.Holmberg for one week. We decided to combine the weeks dedicated to 'reflection and evaluation' (week 6 and week 10) to a new module 'Module 5: Evaluation and reflection', and move it to the end of the course (week 14 and 15). Note the arising differences between syllabus and schedule.
