0-5

Närmare information om tidtabellen (gäller denna kursomgång): 

The course has 10 lectures and 5 calculation exercises. Every calculation exercise has a "Star Problem". If you solve the star problem and submit it for grading you can get some extra points. You can maximally get 2.5 extra points. These points are taken into account in exam points since you have passed the exam. In other words, you must first get the minimum number points (7.5/20 points) before the extra points are considered. 

Preliminary course content and schedule will be uploaded on MyCourses in the beginnig of the course
