| Additional information on mode of examination | The class has one compulsory continuous performance assessment (mandatory project, comprising of 6 biweekly assignments). The final grade will be determined as a weighted average of the grades: 70% session examination and 30% project. The project will be divided into 6 homework assignments, each counting to 5% of the course grade, delivered and graded every 2 weeks. All assignments must be delivered on the due date. Late assignments will be awarded a grade of 1. The assignments rely on each other so it would be more difficult to do only few than all of them. The assignments are envisioned as critical elements of the class and as assistance to the successful completion of the exam. The exam will contain a written part and exercises on the computer and it will contain material that refers directly to the assignments in the project.“ |
