Exam

Midterm exam and written exam

Form of assessment	Weight	Duration	Marks	Aid
Midterm exam	30/100	2 Hours	Letter grades
Written exam	70/100	4 Hours	Letter grades

Both the midterm exam and the written exam are conducted digitally in Inspera. Access to the basic version of Wolframalpha will be provided as an "aid" during the exam as an Inspera resource.Both parts of the assessment must be passed in order to get a passing grade in the course.

Coursework requirements

Exercises, Lab.exercises

8 theoretical assignments of which 4 must be approved. 6 compulsory lab assignments.

Mandatory work demands (such as hand in assignments, lab- assignments, projects, etc) must be approved by the course teacher within the specified deadlines.

Course teacher(s)

Course teacher:

Damiano Rotondo

Laboratory Engineer:

Didrik Efjestad Fjereide

Course coordinator:

Damiano Rotondo

Head of Department:

Tom Ryen

Method of work

The course will have eight hours of lectures per week, which will be used to cover the theoretical content of the course, to solve exercises, and for gamified recaps.

Between two and four student assistance sessions will be arranged each week, where the students can get help with solving the obligatory assignments.

Course assessment

The faculty decides whether early dialogue should be conducted in all or selected groups of courses offered by the faculty. The purpose is to gather feedback from students for making changes and adjustments to the course during the current semester. In addition, a digital evaluation, students’ course evaluation, must be conducted at least once every three years. Its purpose is to collect students` experiences with the course.
