Seminars

Time and location

From your results page you see when and where your seminars are. You can only participate in these assigned seminars.

Seminar problems

Purpose of seminars

Seminars are centered around exercises and problems. Students are expected to have solved the exercises before the actual seminar. During the seminar solutions are presented and discussed by the students.

The idea is that the exercises will be interesting and educational, and that the communication about the exercises will enhance a deeper understanding of the subject. The seminars are to promote activity and continuous learning.

Assessment

In order to pass a single seminar, the student will have to participate actively in the discussions and the presentations. One also needs to pass a particular control assessment. At certain seminars that assessment is to hand in solutions to exercises, and at other seminars the assessment is to pass a small test. More detailed information about the assessments are found in the pages down to the left.

Every seminar starts with a control assessment.

It is important to show up in time.

Bonus points

Each seminar that you pass earns you one bonus point for the final exam. At most you get 6 bonus points. On section A on the final exam you can get, inclusive the bonus points, a total of 12 points. If you e.g. have 4 bonus points, and earn 10 points on part A of the exam, you have a total of 12 points on that section.

Their life span

The bonus points are valid during the whole academic year (1 September 2016 - 31 August 2017). 

Life jacket program

Active participation in the seminar is closely related to performing well on the final examn. We will therefore provide the results from the seminars to the head of your program. This is to eventually channel help to students that appear to be in need.
