Course history

Introduction

The required coursework must be completed and awarded a pass grade before the students can take the exam:

 

  • Documentation of a piece of practical/theoretical work, presented and discussed in a plenary session
  • Completed teaching practice, preferably in groups. Scope: 15 days
  • An interdisciplinary assignment, Inter1200, in collaboration with students taking other programme options
  • An oral presentation relating to teaching practice
  • Minimum 80 per cent participation in compulsory teaching activities

Recommended preliminary courses

The course builds on Mathematics 1000 and Mathematics 2000 (all study programs), but is independent of Mathematics 3000 and can therefore be taken in the 4th semester if the rest of the study portfolio allows for this.

Required preliminary courses

The exam is an individual exam that comprises a practical, creative project with a written reflection paper.

 

A practical creative work

A completed piece of practical creative work with sketches, materials and technique testing as appendices.

 

Written paper

Written reflection paper in which subject theory, subject didactics and experiences from teaching practice are included. Scope of 2,000–2,500 words.

See the teaching plans for more information about the exam. The creative work and the paper are assessed together. Students must achieve a grade E or better on both parts of the exam in order to pass. The exam result can be appealed.

 

Absence - fail

Students who do not take the exam due to valid absence, or who are awarded a fail grade, can register for a resit/rescheduled exam. If a student is taking a resit/rescheduled exam, they can submit a reworked version of the same exam project, or a new exam paper.

Learning outcomes

All aids are permitted, provided the rules for source referencing are met.

Content

Ordinary differential equations with variable coefficients

Laplace transforms

Fourier series

Partial differential equations

Teaching and learning methods

Grade scale A-F.

Course requirements

One internal examiner and one co-examiner (assesses a selection of the exam assignments). External examiners are used regularly.

Assessment

Individual written exam, 3 hours.

The exam result can be appealed.
