BYPE1600 Mechanics

Prosjektarbeid i gruppe der arbeidets dokumenterte resultat vurderes ut ifra programkode. Omfanget av oppgaven regnes som relativt stort (flere tusen linjer i programkode).

Prosjektarbeidet skal utføres i gruppe (gruppestørrelse på 2 eller 3 studenter, i enkelte tilfeller kan oppgaver leveres individuelt, og da etter søknad), men studentene mottar en individuell vurdering som tar høyde for students bidrag inn i gruppa, i tillegg til det totale resultatet.

Eksamensresultat kan påklages. Ved ny og utsatt eksamen skal 6-timers skriftlig eksamen bli benyttet.

Alle.

Gradert skala A-F.

En eller to interne sensorer. Ekstern sensor brukes jevnlig.

DAPE1400 Programmering eller tilsvarende.

Emnet er ekvivalent (overlapper 10 studiepoeng) med: DATS1600, ITPE1600, LO137A og LO137I. Ved praktisering av 3-gangers regelen for oppmelding til eksamen teller forsøk brukt i ekvivalente emner.

One internal examiner. External examiners are used regularly.
