Grading scale: TH
Assessment: Written examination. To qualify for a passing grade the student must have completed the compulsory course items. The final grade of the course is based on the result of the written examination.
Compulsory exercises / labs must be conducted / reported on the time and place specified in the the beginning of the course.
