If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.

• ÖVN1 - Exercises, 6.0 credits, grading scale: A, B, C, D, E, FX, F

Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.

The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.

In this course all the regulations of the code of honor at the School of Computer science and Communication apply, see: http://www.kth.se/csc/student/hederskodex/1.17237?l=en_UK.

Project reports PPD and URD (ÖVN1 6 hp, A, D, F).
There are activities in the course that require compulsory attendance.

• 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.

This course should be followed by DD143X. These two courses must be taken the same academic year; they can not be taken separately. Together they replace DD1363.
