Coursework requirements
Compulsory course attendance that must be completed and approved before access to the laboratory: TN101 HSE-course for bachelor students.
7 laboratory excercises, 4 hours per week with submission of 7 mandatory laboratory reports.
Mandatory work demands (such as hand in assignments, lab- assignments, projects, etc) must be approved by subject teacher 3 weeks ahead of examination date.
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 assigned labs on time or not having them approved will result in barring from taking the exam of the course.
