• plan and carry out assignments in stipulated time
• make well justified specialisation and course choices
• review critically and reflect on both the set-up and implementation of the education as well as their own study achievements
• reflect on different themes relevant for the education and the professional role, such as study technique and progression in subject knowledge and general skills
• identify their need for additional knowledge and continuously develop their competence
• analyse and take position to social consequences of computer science applications
• account for some important events in the history of the computer and computer science
• discuss the importance of the context for technical change
• carry out a limited history of computer science study and present it orally and in writing

in order to

• obtain an overall picture of the education and thereby better understanding of the importance of each individual course
• make informed choices both during the education and thereafter
• be able to influence the development of the programme.

If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.

• SEM2 - Seminars, assignments and project, 3.0 credits, grading scale: P, F
• SEM3 - Seminars and assignments, 1.0 credits, grading scale: P, 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 final grade of the course is determined by grade points that are distributed at the activities in the course.

Active participation in all compulsory activities, passed reflection documents and history of computer science project report.

The requirements for E/pass for the final grade can be completed via supplementary examination.

There are written compensatory assignments for all mandatory activities in the course.

An approved grade cannot be raised via renewed examination.

• All members of a group are responsible for the group's work.
• In any assessment, every student shall honestly disclose any help received and sources used.
• In an oral assessment, every student shall be able to present and answer questions about the entire assignment and solution.

The examination components UPP2 and UPP3, that were used up to autumn semester 2018, correspond to the new components SEM2 and SEM3, respectively, and may when needed be replaced by these.

You can only count one of DD1390 and DD1391 in your diploma.
