The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.
The thesis should be presented at a seminar at KTH. The written report should be registered at the school. The format as well as the language usage in the report is very important. The report may be in Swedish or in English. Abstract should be in both languages. The reports will be checked for plagiarism.
The examination is based on the three criteria - process, contents, and presentation - defined by KTH, and presented in the course description (Process, engineering-related and scientific content, and presentation).
