Examination including compulsory elements
The examination of parts A, B and C is based on written examination with grading scale U, 3, 4, 5. The examination of part D takes place during the laboratory exercises, grading scale U, G. An approved electrical safety test is required to be able to do the laboratory work. For the final grade it is required that no part (A, B, C or D) is failed and when it is fulfilled, the final grade is determined as a weighing of parts A, B and C.The course examiner may assess individual students in other ways than what is stated above if there are special reasons for doing so, for example if a student has a decision from Chalmers on educational support due to disability.
