Programme description

  • Introduction

    The course consists of lectures and seminars on techniques and methods, as well as a project to be carried out in groups (2-4 students). The project will be chosen from a portfolio of available problems. The students will work in groups and will submit the code and a project report.

    Practical training

    Lab sessions.

  • Required preliminary courses

    None.

  • Learning outcomes

    The assessment will be based on a portfolio of the following:

    • A group project delivery (2-4 students), consisting of a report (7500-3000 words) and code
    • An individual oral examination

    The weight of the two parts is 50 % each.

    The project report should be between 7500-3000 words. Both the code/program and the report will be evaluated. The comprehensiveness of the code/program is evaluated with the assumption that each student in the group has committed about 60 hours towards developing the solution. As a general guideline, the code/program carries a stronger weight than the report.

    The portfolio will be assessed as a whole and the exam cannot be appealed.

    New/postponed exam

    In case of failed exam or legal absence, the student may apply for a new or postponed exam. New or postponed exams are offered within a reasonable time span following the regular exam. The student is responsible for applying for a new/postponed exam within the time limits set by OsloMet. The Regulations for new or postponed examinations are available in Regulations relating to studies and examinations at OsloMet.
