    Remarks

    The material demanded for the exam is composed of a part of the presented literature. This will be informed during the course.

  • Partial passing of course must be in connection with the same round of implementation.

    • Distance learning

  • ITC utilized during the course

    • - In information distribution via homepage, newsgroups or mailing lists, e.g. current issues, timetables
    - In compiling teaching material, particularly for online use or other electronic media
    - In compiling exercise, group or laboratory work
    - In distributing and/or returning exercise work, material etc
    - In the visualization of objects and phenomena, e.g. animations, demonstrations, simulations, video clips
    - In exams or assessment of knowledge and skill/learning

  • Estimate as a percentage of the implementation of the course

    • - Contact teaching: 40 %
    - Distance learning: 10 %
    - Proportion of a student's independent study: 50 %
