Exam
| Form of assessment | Weight | Duration | Marks | Aid | Exam system | Withdrawal deadline | Exam date |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Oral exam | 1/1 | Letter grades | — | 02.11.2020 | 16.11.2020 |
Project consisting one large assignment. The project is to be performed in a group. The grade for the project will be based on the submitted program code and an oral hearing in groups of the submitted program code. Both parts must be done before final grade is given. Each group member can receive a different grade based on their performance during the oral hearing.
If a student fails the project, she/he has to take this part next time the subject is lectured.
Written exam is digital (Inspera).
Coursework requirements
Three mandatory individual lab exercises (programming exercises). Pass/Fail. All programming exercises must be passed to attend for the written exam. Approval may take place through the Autograder system for automated evaluation, followed by in-lab approval.
Completion of mandatory lab assignments are to be made within the allotted time period. Absence due to illness or for other reasons must be communicated as soon as possible to the laboratory personnel. One cannot expect that provisions for completion of the lab assignments at other times are made unless prior arrangements with the laboratory personnel have been agreed upon.
Failure to complete the assigned labs on time or not having them approved will result in barring from taking the exam of the course.
