Learning methods and activities
The course consists of lectures, laboratory work and exercises.
It will be made accessible for both campus- and remote students. Seminars in the course will be given on campus and are open for all categories of students through web conference-systems (Eluminate, Adobe Connect, etc). Recordings of seminars and tutoring sessions will be available on the internet through the learning management system. Laboratory exercises must be done on-campus. In addition, for remote students there will be at least one gathering at campus with mandatory attendance.
In order to complete the coursework requirements 60% of hand-ins must be approved. Mandatory presence on 60% seminars and laboratory exercises is also required.
Assessment methodology for examination
Alphabetical scale, A (best) – F (fail)
Teaching language is English. Teaching, tutoring, assignments and exam are given in English.
In case of less than 4 students, the course will be based on self study.

Further on evaluation
The final grade depends on 12 hour individual home exam and oral examination. Individual oral examination (15 minutes) may adjust the grade up or down to the final grade. Students must pass the home exam to be able to present themselves for the oral examination. Students must pass both parts to pass the course.
For off campus students the oral exam will be arranged through web conference.
Ordinary re-sit for the home exam (next August). For the oral exam there will be a re-sit in agreement with the course responsible.
