Examination and completion
Grading scale
P, F
Examination
- EXA1 - Examination, 6.0 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.
If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.
Four home‐assignments:
- Electrostatic or magnetostatic problem
- Thin‐wire antenna
- Scattering from metallic or homogeneous object
- Scattering from heterogeneous object
Other requirements for final grade
Satisfactory performance in all home‐assignments. Oral presentation of one assignment.
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.
