Examinations¶

This course consists of three different types of examination, all giving 2 credits each. These three examinations are a set of computer exercises, an individual assignment, and a dugga.

Computer exercises¶

This course contains four computer exercises which should be completed as a part of the course. For this, you have four scheduled hours per computer exercise where a lab supervisor will be present. Please note that this time is primarily for asking questions and getting help, and that you are expected to work with the computer exercises outside of the scheduled time as well.

The labs will be examined in two different ways. Lab 1A, 1B, 4A, and 4B will be examined with reports. There is one report for block 1, including lab 1A and 1B, and one for block 4, including lab 4A and 4B, these reports should contain the questions from the included labs. The reports should contain a short background on the exercises and answers to the questions given in the end of each exercise. Please note that we will review up to two revisions of the report during the course period (i.e., up to three total submissions, including the initial one). Should additional revisions be necessary, we reserve the right to review them as time permits.

You need to hand in the reports (on LISAM):

The computer lab report block 1, Deadline: 21th of September
The computer lab report block 4, Deadline: 19th of October

For lab 2 and 3, you will do an oral seminar examination. Before these seminar, you should have completed the lab and the output (code and figures) will be the basis for the examination. To take part of these seminar you will need to signup for one of the seminar groups on LISAM and submit your code and figures (on Lisam) before the seminar.

Assignment¶

In the assignment you should go a bit in depth on one of the topics in the course. You are free to choose a topic yourself, as long as it is covered in the course. You can also discuss and get some advice on a topic with the teachers on the course. When you have chosen a topic, you task is to answer the research question by both reading previous work on the topic and by doing some new practical work yourself. In the end, you will present your topic and the work you have done in a 10 minute presentation at a seminar the 16th of October. Apart from presenting your project, you will also take part in a discussion of both your own and other projects.

You need to hand in (on LISAM, Deadline: 19th of October):

your code for the assignment (to reproduce your results)
your slides from the seminar
an abstract (around 200-250 words, maximum 1 page) describing what you did and why it is important

Dugga¶

In the dugga, your general knowledge of the concepts of the content of the course will be tested. You can view the dugga as a smaller version of a traditional exam.

The dugga is on the 20th of October. There will be a chance to re-rake the dugga, the date will be decided during the course.
