Examination and completion
Grading scale
P, F
Examination
- EXA1 - Examination, 8.0 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.
If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.
Students are required to satisfactorily work out selected problems taken from the course book. Solution sheets are handed in and examined during the course. Students are expected to be able to discuss the completed problems and other course book material during oral examination
Other requirements for final grade
Written assignments and oral examination.
Examiner
Ethical approach
- 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.
