    One possible way could be to produce a set of self made and self designed videos concerning Office 365 environment. After that a suitable software engineering / computer science / digital electronics/ mathematics (physics) application problem could be solved and documented with enough examples and details.

    No private (personal) guidance is given in this kind of way.

    Exam schedule

    No final exam. The assessment is based on personal projects, the result of the projects and the documentation of the results and the implementation. Also keeping in the schedules is one part of the assessment.
