Exam

On Fri, Oct 28, 2016, 8:00-13:00 a written exam will take place, rooms L21, L22, L41, and L42. The exam will be designed to test the understanding of the material taught during the course. The registration for the exam has to be done until Wed, Oct 12 under your personal "My Pages" account.

The exam will consist of two parts (subject to minor changes).

* Part A: Questionnaire with 16 questions. Each answer will be assessed as correct (+1 point), wrong (-1 point) or no answer (0 point). You pass this part of the exam if you achieve 8 points, including the bonus points, and then Part B will be graded. If you do not pass Part A, then you fail the whole exam (Part B will not be graded).

* Part B: Problem solving. The problems will be similar to problems in previous exams/tutorials. If you pass Part A, then the grade of the exam (A-F) is exclusively determined by the points achieved in Part B. The grading focuses on the signal theory relevant matters. This means that most points will be assigned to show that you take the right approach to solve the problem. Long derivations will provide only a few points. A reflection on the result is highly recommended. If a sanity check would indicate that a result is wrong and it is not remarked (and explained) in the exam that you noticed that a derivation must contain an error, then this will be penalized. With a correct remark, the wrong solution will be treated as a following up mistake without extra point reduction. Always provide a complete derivation of your results so that one can follow your reasoning and one can give you points for intermediate steps.
Allowed aids for exam:
* The script “Signal Theory” (without personal notes)
* Table of formulas in signal processing,
* EE/KTH Beta Math handbook (sold at KTH book store), or similar (please check with course responsible in advance)
* Language dictionary if desired (ask before)
Note: Pocket calculators are NOT allowed.

Info about procedure: You will get paper in the exam. The examination process will be managed by people from STEX who will arrange proctors for the exam. Note that these proctors are not related to the course and simply follow the rules; they check that you are not cheating (they are very good at this!), they remove supplementary material that is not allowed for the exam and unfortunately cannot answer questions regarding the content. However, the teacher and the TAs will regularly come by during the examination, to answer questions. No questions regarding your bonus points in the exam will be answered!

Re-exam: The re-exam will be Wed, Dec 21, 2016, 8:00 - 13:00, room V232. The bonus points from the course round HT2016 will be still valid. Please register for the exam at least two weeks before.
