Students at KTH with a permanent disability can get support during studies from Funka:
A, B, C, D, E, FX, F
Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.
The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.
The course is examined through home assignments and lab report (INLA, 3 credits, P/F) and an oral presentation and examination (REDA - 3 credits, A-F). The oral examination determines the final grade.
Grading criteria for oral presentation and examination (REDA):
E: recall the basic experimental arrangement of the application
D: explain the basic experimental arrangement of the application
C: explain in detail the different aspects of the application
B: analyze in detail the different aspects of the application
A: analyze in detail the different aspects of the application and its relation to another application example
