If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.
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.
Grades: A-F
Students registrered at KTH before 1/7-07 have the right to request grades P/F.
The thesis work can be performed individually or together with another student. In the latter case the examiner should make sure that the work of each student fulfills the requirements for an individual thesis work. The examiner determines the grading together with the tutor. The grade is determined by a weighting of several criteria, of which the student should be informed at the beginning of the course:
1. Process, including understanding of the project and its relevance for later professional activity, as well as independency and ability to keep the the schedule that was agreed for the work.
2. Scientific content, as well as knowledge of the theoretical background.
3. Presentation, both written and oral, inclusive interpretation and analysis of results, as well as possible opposition on fellow student master thesis presentation.
For reaching the pass grade for the course, the student must pass all three criteria given above. A document "Evaluation criteria - ED2225X Degree Project in Fusion Plasma Physics", where the specific grade criteria for the course are made explicit, is handed to the student at course start.
Depending on the student's education program, opposition at the oral presentation may be required; also participation by the student in opposition at another oral degree project presentation may be required.
