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.
To pass the course reguires:
- Active participation in the workshop
- Correct answer to questions provided at the workshop
- Individuel written account for how molecules and materials at interfaces is of importance in an on-going research project. The report should include a description of which infromation that is obtained from the techniques being used, and which additional techniques that would provide important information. After approval the report will be provided to all participants.
Other requirements for final grade
