Teaching is given as lectures, laboratory course and colloquium.

Lectures: 60 h (4h/week)

• Mandatory attendance to laboratory course (5 days with laboratory days) with a written journal and exercises (valid for five following semesters. Courses taken previous to autumn 2022 are valid for 5 following semesters).
• The students must participate in and pass a course on Health, Environment and Safety (HSE) before attending the laboratory course.
• In order to obtain approval of the mandatory activities, and therefore gain access to the final exam, one must submit mandatory assignments of a satisfactory standard within the set deadlines. Mandatory assignments should be your own work.
• Serious violations of the HSE rules will lead to a loss of the right to complete the laboratory course
• It is not possible to use more then 3 attempts (semester) to complete the laboratory course.
• Mandatory attendance at the first lecture to keep the place in the laboratory course.

Portfolio assessment based on:

• Laboratory course (pass/fail)
• Mandatory written exercise (pass/fail)
• Midterm exam (2h) (accounts for 30% of the final grade)
• written exam at home (4 hours) (accounts for 70% of the final grade)

b. Students with approved laboratory course and approved mandatory written exercise from previously semesters must take both the midterm exam and the final exam.

4. In semesters without teaching:

a) Students with approved laboratory course and assignment from previous semesters take the written exam, this counts 100% of the grade.
