Learning methods and activities

The learning framework of this course is based on the following pillars: lectures by the teachers, exercises, a compulsory development project, lecture by industry. All students must participate in the compulsory development project - "Fellesprosjektet" - before the final exam. The project is a co-operation between TDT4140, TDT4180 and TDT4145. Students who do not take all these courses must participate in a project with a reduced requirements specification. If there is a re-sit examination, the examination form may change from written to oral.
