Literature and preparations
Specific prerequisites
Participants should be enrolled at the Doctoral Program Chemical Science and Engineering at CBH, Fiber- and polymer science.
Recommended prerequisites
Master degree in chemistry, chemical engineering, material science, soft matter, nanotechnology or similar.
Equipment
Literature
Literature is detailed during the course.
Examination and completion
If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.
Grading scale
Examination
- DEL1 - Participation, 3.0 credits, grading scale: P, 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.
Each seminar should be documented by:
- short bio of the speaker
- summary of the seminar content
and a critical assessment on how the newly acquired knowledge could be used by the student in her/his projects. This would also require reference to appropriate papers authored by the speaker. In total, the written text should not exceed 1 A4 per seminar.
Other requirements for final grade
Detailed instructions will be distributed to enrolled students.
Opportunity to complete the requirements via supplementary examination
Opportunity to raise an approved grade via renewed examination
Examiner
Ethical approach
- 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.
