Vilkår for å gå opp til eksamen/vurdering

4 compulsory assignments, 8 out of 12 compulsory assginmenst must be approved, 6 out of 9 compulsory assignments must be approved, 2 lab-reports, 75% mandatory attendance at math exercises

8 out of 12 mandatory hand-ins approved. Hand-in assignments must be approved by subject teacher 3 weeks ahead of examination date. Otherwise the student will be barred from the exam.

The hand-ins will comprise the main elements of the course syllabus and give the student proper training in working with problems relevant for the final exam.
