INL1 - Home assignment, 2.0 credits
There are three compulsory homework assignments. A homework assignment is carried out in a group of one or two students, where the students select the groups. For each homework assignment, a group should hand in a written report in Canvas. A report which is handed in by the following due dates makes the group's members eligible for bonus points for the final exams of this academic year:
- Homework assignment 1: Tuesday November 15, 2022
- Homework assignment 2: Monday November 28, 2022
- Homework assignment 3: Monday December 12, 2022.
Homework assignments 1 and 2 give 1 credit each and assignment three gives 2 bonus credits. To pass the 2.0 hp homework assignments examination for this academic year, the reports need to be handed in no later than by the date for the reexam.
The aim of the homework assignments is to practice using mathematical concepts and methods and to practice report writing. The purpose of the report is to explain the problem, give theoretical background and present results on a level which is suitable for a master student who has taken the course SF1811 but not done this particular homework assignment. The presentation should be similar to the presentation of examples in the course literature. Write using your own words and include additional explanations for the steps. This means that a solution with only formulas is not acceptable.
The report does not have to be long, probably less than five pages. If applicable, Matlab code should be included, e.g in an appendix. The most important aspects are that the report is correct and that a reader is able to learn something. The form of the report is not important, e.g. it does not matter if the there is table of contents or a section "conclusion". In the grading, it is taken into account how well the report explains the problem, describes the theoretical background, and presents the results.
TEN2 - Exam, 4.0 credits
The final exam will consist of five problems that all together give a maximal score of 50 credits plus bonus credits. You are guaranteed to pass with 25 credits, including bonus credits. The questions in the exam will be in English and you may write your answers in English or Swedish. Typically the grades will be: E at least 25, D 29, C 34, B 39, and A at least 45 credits, including bonus credits.The exam will include an alternative question taken from a list of theory questions, available in Canvas. For one of the questions, there will be two alternatives: one standard question and one specific theory question from the list. It is the student's choice which of the alternatives to this question that is handed in.
The grade Fx is normally given for 23 or 24 points on the final exam. An Fx grade may be converted to an E grade by a successful completion of two supplementary exercises, that the student must complete independently. One exercise among the theory exercises handed out during the course, and one exercise which is similar to one exercise of the exam. These exercises are selected by the instructor, individually for each student. It is the responsitibility of the student to contact the instructor to initiate such a process. Solutions have to be handed in to the instructor and also explained orally within three weeks of the date of notification of grades.
No aids, except of course pen, pencil, eraser and ruler, are allowed in the exam. E.g. calculators or dictionaries are not allowed. A formula sheet, which is available in Canvas, will be included in the exam.
The final exam is given Wednesday January 11, 2023, 14.00-19.00. Registration for the exam has to be made in advance according to KTH rules.
