Success of intensive software project laboratory: This year we allowed students to attend the software project laboratory (Software-Praktikum) as an intensive lab during the semester break. This lab finished last week, and it proved a good learning experience for students. All participating students completed the course successfully, by implementing a working computer version of the "Ingenious" board game. The course is also offered, as in previous years, during the semester.
