Examination and completion

Grading scale

A, B, C, D, E, FX, F

Examination

  • ANN1 - Assignments, 2.5 credits, grading scale: P, F
  • TEN1 - Examination, 5.0 credits, grading scale: A, B, C, D, E, FX, 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.

Other requirements for final grade

To pass the course one needs to pass a written exam (3 credits) and a homeassignments (4.5 credits).

The final grade will be based on the results from the exam and project work. To pass the course the students shall meet all goals of the course. For higher grade the students shall be able to show that they understand WDM network optimization issues and survivability mechanisms as well as have deeper knowladge about optical network management and control.

From 2007-07-01 the grades will include seven levels (A, B, C, D, E, Fx, F).

Examiner

No information inserted

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.
