Teaching methods

Assessment

Mandatory tasks: At the start of the written exam, the students bring with them a predefined report in two paper copies. This report can be used by the students during the written exam, and the report will count as part of the exam (there will be no separate grade for the report). The whole material, also the report, has to be delivered at the end of the exam.

Examination and report will form the basis of the overall assessment.

Exam: 3 hour written exam

Access to the continuation exam, if it is held, requires that the professor must approve the report within 1 month after the regular examination is held. Remember to take care of the report, since it has to be delivered on a possible continuation exam. Grading will be done by using A-F grading scale, F is Fail. There will be no separate grade for the report.
