Examination
In addition to the written exam there will be three seminars
with corresponding problem sets.
At each seminar, you should
-
be there in time,
-
bring your written solutions to the problem set, and
-
be prepared to present your solutions in class.
Your solutions do not have to be absolutely correct,
and we will not look deeply into them nor provide any written feedback.
However, we will check that you have made a serious attempt to solve
all the problems. The same goes for your presentations in class.
Though the solutions should be handed in individually, cooperation
is strongly encouraged when you solve the problems.
To pass the course you must pass all three seminars and the written exam.
The required number of credits for the different
grades for the March 17, 2017 exam are as follows.
| grade |
Fx | E | D | C | B | A |
| required credit sum |
11 | 13 | 17 | 20 | 23 | 28 |
No aids will be permitted during the exam.
You have to register for the exam in advance, before 27th of February, which can be done through "My Pages". Please see Student affairs office for more info.
