Course Assessment Requirements：

Examination: Hand-in assignments

The course is examined and graded based on hand-in assignments that must be done individually. Details concerning the examination requirements are given in the document that describes the hand-in assignments. There is a mandatory set of tasks that have to be completed for pass. Then there is a set of extra tasks that through a point system can give higher grades. In total there are five hand-in assignments, where only the first three have mandatory parts.
