DT2217 Advanced Induvidual Course in Music Acoustics 9.0 credits

The course makes it possible for students with a special interest within music acoustics to follow an individually designed course within their own area of interest.

In the autumn of 2024 in period 2, the student can opt to follow the third-cycle course FDT3318 Room Acoustics and Spatial Audio. The labs in that course are then replaced by the student's project work. For more information about this, please see the Canvas pages of that course:  https://canvas.kth.se/courses/54475.

The course implies that students with a special interest in musical communication can follow an individually designed course in their own area of interest. Both course content and assessment are designed individually for each student. The student should primarily contact the course coordinator. The course can only be offered if the department has enough resources and skills in the current field.

The student should after the course be able to realize a practical/theoretical project within music communication and report the result. It implies to be able to:

• independently plan, execute and present a theoretical or practical task within music communication
• acquire and evaluate information applicable for carrying out the task
• choose a course of approach and define a plan for carrying out the task in a given resource budget
• write legible reports in English or Swedish that satisfy established norms as to structure, language and contents
• orally report a work with certain requirements of preparation, structure, style and time
• show increased knowledge and skills in a specific field in musical communication.

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.

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

Since this is an individually designed course, the examination formats vary. A written report in the form of a simple report is minimum requirement. The course is reported as Written assignment (INL1; 9 credits).
