If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.

• INL1 - Report, 3.0 credits, grading scale: P, F
• NÄR1 - Attendance, 1.5 credits, grading scale: P, F
• SEM1 - Seminars, 1.5 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.

A exam about the typesetting program LaTeX (TEN1; 1,5 university credits). An own
written report (INL1; 3 university credits), oral presentation of the report in form of
a seminar and oral and written objection on another student's report
and seminar (SEM1; 1,5 university credits) as well as 75 % attendance of all meetings and
seminars (NÄR1; 1,5 university credits).
