Course structure
The course consists of three parts: practical exercises, individual assignment and theory.
Teaching format
Teaching consists of lectures and supervision.
Assessment
The course is assessed through written and oral presentations (practical exercises and individual assignment) and written exam (theory).
The practical exercises are graded as pass or fail. The individual assignment and the theory parts are graded according to a seven-point criterion-referenced scale. A passing final grade requires passing grades on all included parts, and the final grade of the course is determined by weighing the grades of the individual assignment and the theory parts in relation to the scope of the parts.
