Coursework requirements

Godkjente regneøvinger, Approved laboratory exercises

Compulsory laboratory exercises:7 Compulsory hand-in assignments: 4 out of 7 (2 must be Chap 1- Chap 4 and 2 must be from Chap 5, Chap 6, and Chap 9)

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.

Method of work

Weekly 4-6-hour lecturing (at the campus), 4 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 subject teacher three weeks ahead of examination date.

Course assessment

There must be an early dialogue between the course supervisor, the student union representative and the students. The purpose is feedback from the students for changes and adjustments in the course for the current semester.In addition, a digital subject evaluation must be carried out at least every three years. Its purpose is to gather the students experiences with the course.
