Coursework requirements
Godkjente regneøvinger, Approved laboratory exercises
Compulsory hand-in assignments:
- Theory assignments: 4 out of 6 must be delivered (2 must be Chap 1- Chap 3 and 2 must be from the rest.)
- Laboratory assignments: Completion of mandatory lab assignments are to be made at the times and in the groups that are assigned and published. 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 assignments on time or not having them approved will result in barring from taking the exam of the course.
Course teacher(s)
Course coordinator:
Mahdieh KhanmohammadiCoordinator laboratory exercises:
Romuald Karol BernackiHead of Department:
Tom RyenMethod of work
Weekly 4-6-hour lecturing (at the campus), 2 hours guided problem-solving and 3 hours laboratory work through the semester. Each lab exercise consist of a theoretical pre-lab and 3 hours lab work. The pre-lab has to be carried out before the work in the lab can start. Mandatory work demands (such as hand in assignments, lab- assignments, projects, etc) must be approved by the course teacher three weeks ahead of examination date.

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.
