¶ The Quizes are obligatory and show the knowledge level of student in the discussed topic. There are five quizzes scheduled for part 2 of this course. These quizzes account for 5% of the final grade. This is valid for the exams in May 2013 and August 2013 respectively.

The exam is written and is given twice a year. To attend the exam it is required to register in advance using KTH “My pages”, which can be accessed from the student web site (www.kth.se/student/minasidor). The premises of the exam can be changed depending on the number of examinees. Check the course web page for detailed information before the exam! (The central KTH exam schedule is not always updated in time.)

To pass it is necessary to score at least 34 points out of 100. Examinees who have failed the exam but are close to the requirement for passing (i.e., 31-33 points) may write a supplementary test. If the result of this test is approved, the student will get the grade E. The date of the extra test is decided by the course examiner after consulting the concerned students. However, the student must notify his or her intention to write the supplementary test no later than one month after the exam.

The following aids are allowed at the exams and extra tests:

* Calculator without information relevant to the course.
* One handwritten, single-sided A4-page with your own notes (original, not a copy), which should be handed in together with the exam.
