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.

The project has to be presented at a short seminar. The students present their work and discuss the technologies they have used. Other students and teachers may participate in this seminar.
A complete and detailed documentation of the project is also required. The documentation must include a step-by-step description of the implementation of the project. The documentation can be seen as a tutorial for other people that would want to learn what the students of this group have learned.
The project must be carried out in a group of 2 or 3 students.
The grade P is awarded when the course segment goal has been achieved and this is reflected in the final report and presentation.
