• XUPP - Degree project, 15.0 credits, grading scale: P, 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.

Assessment takes place by means of a written report, an oral presentation, and critical examination of another student's degree project. In the assessment of the degree project, the following points are specifically considered:

1. The work process of the project, including understanding of the assignment and its relevance for the future profession, and the student's ability to work independently and follow the time plan for the work.

2. Scientific contents, including understanding of the theoretical background

3. Presentation, i.e. written and oral presentation, including interpretation and analysis of results and a critical examination of a peer's degree project

The grading criteria of the course are distributed at the beginning of the course.

A student who has not completed their degree project within eight months risks failing the course, subject to the examiner's assessment
