Assessment (3 EC)
This course is full-time course for 2 weeks. Students are expected to do self-study and solve home-assignments every day after each session. The deadline to submit home-assignments is the same day at midnight.
To pass the course the student must complete and submit 7 home-assignments distributed in the end of session 1 to 7. Submission of the home-assignments in MSTeams is mandatory but these will not the graded. Assessment consists of the submission of the 7 home-assignments and the submission of one individual final assignment that is will be graded.
