Grading scale
Examination
- INL1 - Hand in task, 5.0 credits, grading scale: A, B, C, D, E, FX, F
- PRO1 - Project Work, 2.0 credits, grading scale: A, B, C, D, E, FX, F

Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.
The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.
Other students: To be able to follow the course you must have knowledge similar to the basic course MF2047/MF2015
Other requirements for final grade
Course final grade is a weighted average of the various parts' grades
Opportunity to complete the requirements via supplementary examination
Opportunity to raise an approved grade via renewed examination
Examiner
Ethical approach
- All members of a group are responsible for the group's work.
- In any assessment, every student shall honestly disclose any help received and sources used.
- In an oral assessment, every student shall be able to present and answer questions about the entire assignment and solution.
