Recommended Preparation

1. If you have not used Artemis before, please follow the tutorial (you might need to click on your login in the upper right corner and then on Continue Tutorial).
2. Check if you meet the most important preconditions with the programming exercise. Try to solve this programming exercise on your own without the help of others. If you can solve all tasks in a few hours, you are well-prepared for this course. If you have problems with some tasks, you should have another look at the online tutorials mentioned above. If you cannot solve all tasks in this programming exercise on your own, this course will be very difficult for you and we strongly recommend that you first learn the prerequisites in another course (e.g. INHN0001 and INHN0002) and then take the INHN0006 course.

Media
