Examination
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.
To be given a passing grade at the meeting, students need to prepare for all topics areas except topic area 1 and be ready to lead the discussion if selected at the meeting. All students are expected to be active participants during the meeting.
Other requirements for final grade
The students gain 1.5 studypoints for every fifth meeting they participate in until they reach 4.5 study points. The course is then reported as passed.
