Examination

Two voluntary home assignments will be given, they give bonus points to the written examination (2+4 bonus points). For full credits, both a written report and possibly an oral presentation have to be performed, and therefore attendance to the exercise sessions on the 6/11 and 29/11 are necessary. For full details, see the descriptions for the assignments that will be available on the homepage.
Maximum credits on the exam is 50 points. Preliminary grade limits are, 23 for an Fx, 25 For E, 28 for D, 33 for C, 38 for B and 43 for A. The first written exam is given on December 12, 2012, 14.00-19.00. Please remember to sign up for the exam on "My Pages" on the internet.
