Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
Assessment and permitted materials
There will be a midterm and a final exam. Each will count 35% of the grade, the remaining 30% will be the homeworks. There may also be a short written assignment over the easter break that counts as part of the homeworks. Some homeworks may be submitted in groups of two, other homeworks have to be worked on alone. The specific rules are described on each homework assignment sheet. No copying homeworks of others. If you only want a separate grade for the exercises, you need special permission from the vice dean of studies. These students may not submit the homeworks in groups, will be given a shorter midterm and final exam. Their homeworks count 2/3 of the grade, the midterm and final only 1/3.Students wishing to do so, will be offered a "makeup possibility” for the final exam. The date for this makeup will be end of September. This makeup exam will be counted instead of the final, hence the grade can be improved and worsened.
Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
In both exams you may use your hand written course notes. The course is passed if sufficiently many points are gathered that identify that the participant has attained a minimal understanding of the material.Mid-Term: April 19, 2023 16:45-20:00
