More info about the assignment

The students have to write and submit two individual semester assignments based on problem descriptions presented during the course. One assignement is directed towards the data science part of the course and will account for 65% of the grade. 35% of the grade is related to an assignment on agent engineering. The assignments need to be presented in the oral part of the examination.

More information is given by the start of the course.


More info about the oral exam

There will be an oral examination part. The student will be asked to present his or her own work based on the semester assignment produced. This could influence the evaluation of the student's work up to two grades.

Re-sit examination

There will not be arranged a re-sit exam for this course.

Info about the weighting of parts of the examination

English

Semester assignment 1 counts for 65% of the overall grade for the written part

Semester assignment 2 counts for 35% of the overall grade for the written part

The oral exam part will be based on the written part. This part of the exam can contribute to raising or lowering the assessment given on the written part by up to two grade points.

Norsk

Semesteroppgave 1 teller 65% av samlet karakter for skriftelig del

Semesteroppgave 2 teller 35% av samlet karakter for skriftelig del

Muntlig eksamensdel vil ta utgangspunkt i den skriftelige delen. Denne eksamensdelen vil kunne bidra til å heve eller senke vurderingen gitt på skriftelig del med inntil to karaktertrinn.
