The learning outcomes will be examined through seminars, a project report (one per group) and an individual reflection assignment.

Seminar hand-ins (summary of article(s) and question) will be graded P/F.

The project report will be graded F-C.

To get a higher grade, an individual reflection assignment should be handed in at the end of the course. The final individual grade will be a combination of the project report grade and the individual reflection grade.

  • 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.
