Required prerequisite knowledge
Exam
| Form of assessment | Weight | Duration | Marks | Aid | Exam system | Withdrawal deadline | Exam date |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Home exam | 40/100 | 4 Hours | Letter grades | Inspera assessment | 12.11.2020 | — | |
| Project work | 60/100 | Letter grades | All | — | 18.02.2021 | — |
Project counts 60% of total grade. The project can be done individually or in groups of 2-3 students.
If a student fails to deliver the project on time, then the student will be awarded a fail mark. If valid documentation is provided (e.g., medical certificate), then extended time can be given to complete the project.
If a student fails the project, the student may take a new project with a new title the next time the course goes as usual. However, under exceptional circumstances, the course coordinator may allow the student to start a new project in the following semester (no need to wait for the next course start).
