COURSE PLAN FOR 2021
EXAM
The pdf with the exam will be uploaded here on Friday January 22nd, 13 - 15hs
Guidelines
- The exam will be made available at the wiki at 13.00hs. Upload a pdf with your answers no later than 15.00hs on DTU inside written exam assignment.
- You must connect at Zoom 5 minutes before the exam, and have the camera turned ON during the whole exam. Failing to meet this requirement will invalidate the exam.
- This is an individual exam. Remember sharing or copying answers is not allowed and will be severely punished according to DTU rules and code-of-honor.
Information for Course Participants
Course Format
- NEWS! Due to new restrictions on Covid19 this course will be completely conducted online and all classes will be recorded and uploaded
- Due to group work on some classes, it will be mandatory that you are connected and work online on the allocated time for those
- This will be needed for the entire first day, the question and answer sessions, and the final exam
- Classes will be a mixture of lectures, group work and individual exercises
- Most of the group work will consist of computer exercises, where students are required to use their laptops
- General Question and Answer will be live and uploaded after the session
- Specif Question and Answers for exercise-lectures will be held on Piazza, where you need to create an user
- All learning resources will be available through DTU inside or this site
- Expected time usage: 1 ECTS point equals approx. 28 hours, this translates to an expected time usage of ~10 hours/day for a 5 ECTS 3-week course

Project Period and Exam
Project
Wednesday January 13th - Wednesday January 20nd - Project Work
Please note the following (***time has been updated***):
- The deadline for uploading the final project Poster presentation (i.e. not a report) to DTU inside will be Wednesday January 20nd at 11.59AM
- It is a prerequisite for the exam to complete this assignment and as such, failure to meet the deadline will result in a failed exam
- Furthermore and very important - Each group member is responsible for all aspects of the group work and subsequent presentation
Groups and Projects 2021
- Groups will be preset based on educational diversity
Exam Schedule
- General exam format will consist on 2 parts (course learning objectives):
Oral presentation of the poster project ~10 minutes for all group presentation + 5 minutes for questions (15 minutes total) Date: January 21st 2021 (specific times per group to be announced)
Written exam ~20 questions 2hs, all conducted online on DTU Inside Date: January 22st 2021
- Individual grades will be given after the finalization of the course
