Module Exam
Description of exams and course work
The exam will be an oral examination (25 minutes). Students are not allowed to bring notes or other aid or resources to the exam. The students will be asked to reproduce and explain definitions and results from the lecture and to give illustrating examples. Further, they are asked to apply these results as well as key arguments explained in the lecture to new examples that are given in the exam.
Exam Repetition
The exam may be repeated at the end of the semester.
