Further on evaluation
The assessment in this course is based on two parts; a written exam which counts for 70% of the total grade, and a project that counts for 30%.
Compulsory course activity is that 80% of the ordinary exercises have to be approved to be eligible for the exam. Among the 80%, some exercises are mandatory.
If there is a re-sit examination, the format of the written exam may be changed to an oral exam. Other partial assessments can only be re-sit in the same semester as the course is taught.
