About

About the course

Course content

The course gives a basic introduction to the acoustic theory on the formation of speech sounds, by minimal use of mathematics, and the students learn how to analyse speech signals according to this theory.

Learning outcome

The goal is for students to learn to understand the background for the acoustic analysis of speech signals.

Learning methods and activities

Lectures, group instructions and laboratory exercises with supervision. The course may be taught in English or Norwegian, depending on who is teaching it.
Form of assessment: Portfolio (3 written assignments) and 3-hour final exam. In special cases, students can send an application to the Department for an oral exam instead of a written exam.
More on assessment: Mandatory exercises must be approved before the final grade ist given. The three written assignments in the portfolio are three of the mandatory exercises. Each assignment is assessed individually, but the final grade is based on an overall assessment. In the final grade, the portfolio counts 50% and the oral test 50%. Both the final exam and the portfolio must be passed in order to pass the course. If the course is not passed, the student retakes the part(s) which he/she failed.

Compulsory assignments

  • 6-9 laboratory exercises
