Teaching methods
Lectures, tutorials, and a project that will be done individually.
Assessment methods and criteria
A portfolio with individual computer based tests and a project report. Graded assessment. More information about the portfolio will be given in Canvas. In the case of a new/postponed exam for portfolio assessment, only the written assignment can be submitted again.
Evaluation
Course evaluation is carried out as a midterm evaluation in accordance with standard procedure in the quality assurance system, chapter 2.1.1., unless other information is given in the beginning of the semester.
