Coursework requirements
Lab assignments are to be completed at the times and in the groups that are assigned and published. Absence due to illness or other reasons must be communicated to the laboratory personnel as soon as possible. One cannot expect that provisions for completion of the lab assignments at other times can be made, unless prior arrangements with the laboratory personnel have been agreed.
Mandatory assignment (such as hand-in assignments, lab- assignments) must be approved by the course teacher 3 weeks before the examination date in order to gain access to the final exam.
No resit is offered for the laboratory assignments. If a student wishes to redo the lab, this can be done next time the subject is taught.
