The lectures and examination make up 25% of the course grade. The projects will be done in pairs or individually (pair work is highly recommended). Each of the three projects makes up 25% of the course grade. Students are requested to take the exam on campus in the EXAM studio, but we will provide alternative ways as needed. See the examination instructions.
The course continues to the spring semester because some students always need such flexibility. We recommend completing the course, or most parts of it, by December. The course staff is available for support in period II i.e. Nov-Dec 2020. However, if you need to balance workload, you can leave some submissions to period V i.e. May 2021. Be warned that if you leave everything to the spring, it will be mostly self-study and not easy.
