Computer labs

For the computer labs we will use Sun workstations. Computer labs are carried out in small groups of 2-3 people (the exercises groups - split into two in case they are in 4). Groups are formed during the first lecture/exercises. Material for the computer labs will be copied and handed out - and be made available on the course's Web-page.

Examination

Prerequisite for examination: Passed all computer labs.

Examination is oral and carried out in groups. Grades of 3, 4 or 5 are assigned based on individual performance for passed examinations. To register for the examination (and re-examinations) you have to contact the lecturers: Lars Bendix or Ulf Asklund.
