Learning methods and activities
The course consists of lectures, exercises, project work and self-tuition. Students of Studieprogram Datateknologi and students of Studieprogram Kommunikasjonsteknologi have to carry through a joint project with TTM4100, TDT4140 and TDT4180 (Datateknikk only). The joint project is co-ordinated from TDT4140. Other students have to carry through a mandatory project. If there is a re-sit examination, the examination form may change from written to oral.
Compulsory assignments
