In addition, active group learning methods were adopted usingtechniques similar to those published by Karl Smith [10]. The use of active, group learning methods were animportant contributor to successful student activities in this course.

the initial phases of programming, the Vicsek model developed aninexplicable preferential direction to the left. During the analyses, it turned out that thestraightforward calculation of the new angles of the particles according to equations (2) and(3) was the cause of that effect. When computing the angles of the next timestep, it wasinitially overlooked that the averaging of two particles in the visual range of, e.g., 5° and 355°results in the angle 180°, and not the desired angle 0°. In the course of this project, thestudents learned in a very practical way that a good code review only works well in a team,since it is difficult to discover the own programming errors.Students were also encouraged to critically reflect on their own work.
