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). Material for the computer labs will be copied and handed out.

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 lecturer: Lars Bendix.
