Learning methods and activities

Lectures, laboratory work, computer exercises, practical programming and mid term test.

Compulsory assignments

  • Exercises

Further on evaluation

Portfolio evaluation is the basis for the final grade in the subject. Parts of the portfolio are final exam in writing 70% and exercises and laboratory work 30%. The result for each part is given in percentage units, while evaluation of the entire portfolio (the final grade) is given as a letter. To pass the course, all parts of the exam must be evaluated and given a passed grade level.

If there is a re-sit examination, the examination form may change from written to oral.

In the case that the student receives an F/Fail as a final grade after both ordinary and re-sit exam, then the student must retake the course in its entirety. Submitted work that counts towards the final grade will also have to be retaken if not passed.

Course materials

Textbook will be announced at start of the semester. Supplemented by lecture notes published by the department.
