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.
Written Examination and Assignments. Possible grades for the written examination are A/B/C/D/E/Fx/F while each of the assgnments are either pass or fail (P/F).
To pass the course it is necessary that both the written examination and the assignments are passed. The total grade of the course is based on the grade of the written exam.
If the student is close to pass the exam (assessed by the examinator), the student gets the opportunity to pass the exam by doing a complement assignment. This assignment can only give the grade E, and not higher. The assignment must be sent in according to given deadline and can only be used to raise the grade to E on the current exam.
