Read me before you start the exam!
For those of you who got a clearance that you can do the exam as a home exam instead of campus exam you will find information about it here. For those who take the campus exam there is no need to read on.
You need to do the exam at the same time as the exam is on campus. The home exam is in the form of an open book exam. You are allowed to use the book, the lecture slides and videos, and sources on the Internet. You are not allowed to discuss the questions and answers with anyone or share your answers with anyone during the exam. All answers should be written in your own words, so you are not allowed to, e.g., copy and paste text from any of the sources. You can provide references for sources used if you want to. This can be useful if you use sources other than the book or lectures. Answers that are clearly copied, either from other students or from online sources, will result in 0 points and possibly also a report to the disciplinary board.
Write you answers on a computer and include your namne in the document. Save it as a PDF document before submitting it.
Help
I will be available on Slack for the duration of the exam. Make sure to send direct messages with questions and allow some time for an answer. I might also contact you on slack during the exam so make sure you are online all the time and ready for it.
Grading
You will need to reach 75% of the maximum credits to pass the written part. The grades A-E will be approximately evenly distributed in the span 75-100%.
Depending on your results, there may follow an oral examination which will be connected to the tasks on the written part. This should take about 20 min per person. I will contact you if there is a need for this follow up exam. This part is only fail or pass.
You need to pass both the written and the oral part to pass the exam.
The exam will be published below when the exam time open and you must publish your answers before the exam closes. Deadlines are strict!
Good luck!
