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.
LAB1 - Laboratory work, 1,5 credits, grading scale: P/F
HEM1 - Home assignment, 4,5 credits, grading scale: P/F
SEM1 -Seminar, 1,5 credits, grading scale: P/F
Other requirements for final grade
- At least one approved presentation
- 60% of score for the home assignment
- Passed laboratory work with approved report

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.
