Equipment

No information inserted

Literature

Lecture notes that are posted on the course website no later than four weeks before the course starts.

Instructions to lab experiments.

Examination and completion

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

Grading scale

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

Examination

  • INL1 - Assignments, 4.0 credits, grading scale: A, B, C, D, E, FX, F
  • LAB1 - Laboratory, 2.0 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.

The course is examined through contionous hand in tasks during the course from which the grades D and E can be achieved. For higher grades, the grade D on the hand in tasks is required, as well as an oral exam, for which time is booked individually with the examiner. (INL1; 4 hp, grading scale A-F)

Passed lab experiments (LAB1; 2 hp, grading scale P/F).

Opportunity to complete the requirements via supplementary examination
