Vurderingsformer

Evaluation (final grade) is based on parts 1 and 2 as defined in the following: (1) Individual simulation project with report (30% weight). (2) Individual written exam (70% weight). There is a compulsory laboratory assignment, but this assignment is not graded. Parts 1 and 2 must be passed, and the participation on the compulsory laboratory assignment must be approved, to get a final grade better than F.
