Course development

Online face-to-face group Zoom grading sessions created for some lab assignments on the course. Use of KTH Calendar to ensure the process remains flexible for both TAs and students. Course assessment reduced by two labs to address workload issues reported by both students and TAs. Course assessment further restructured/clarified in line with student feedback. Grading criteria improved for labs to improve mapping to ILOs: passing labs 1-6 now yields a ‘D’ grade, passing labs 1-7 a ‘C’ grade and so on. ‘E’ grade will be reserved for other cases.

New course responsible assigned and new website established to provide better structure and communication. Course assessment changed from physical labs to online assignment submission, due to both Covid but also to reduce pressure on students and limited TA availability for physical lab sessions. Course assessment restructured/clarified in line with student feedback. Course assessment subquestions regrouped according to level of abstraction and open-endedness i.e. more abstract and openended questions moved to higher grade assignments. Due to the pandemic, the physical exam was converted into five separate, spread-out Canvas quiz sessions.
