Lecture Exercises

The purpose of the lecture exercises is to practice and reflect on the theory content presented at the lectures and in the course literature. There are in total four exercises, each dealing with one of the four knowledge areas presented in the course. The difficulty of the questions correspond of the advanced part of the written exams. You might have to read and reflect before you start; just going from the lecture and write the answers is often not sufficient.

Exercises and Deadlines

Below you can find the deadlines for the lecture exercises.

The entire text must be written by yourself (our yourselves if you are two students working together). For information about plagiarism see: https://liu.se/en/article/plagiering-upphovsratt

Rules

The following items must be considered when solving the exercises:
  • The deadlines are strict. Each exercise must be submitted before the deadline.
  • The text of the solution must not exceed the indicated page limits.
  • The solutions must be given in English (We can no longer handle submissions in Swedish)
  • The solutions can be created individually or in groups of two students. If you switch groups members examination will be delayed.
  • Dividing the work between two individuals where one person writes exercise 1 and the other one exercise 2 etc. is strictly forbidden. Hence, if working in a group, it is a requirement that each exercise is performed in collaboration within the group.
  • It is strictly forbidden to copy-and-paste text from other groups or sources. All such cheating or plagiarism will be reported to the disciplinary committee.
  • The use of a generative AI tool is permitted in 2026 for the lecture exercises, but students are fully responsible for the entire final content of the deliverable.
  • Students from previous years can redo the lecture exercise for 2024, but at least 30% of the solutions must be new.

Submission

No individual grading of lecture exercises is carried out in 2026. Submissions should comply with the following rules:

  • The heading of the first page of the submitted document must include full names, LiU-id, and personal numbers (personnummer) for all authors of the solution.
  • The report must be submitted as one pdf-file. Note that all diagrams and text must be in the same pdf-file, i.e., you should not send in several separate files.
  • The file shall be named according to the form: coursecode_liuid1_liuid2_leX_anything.pdf. For example: TDDC93_krisa111_jonwa222_le3_testning.pdf
  • File size is limited to 49 MB
  • When you are registered for the course, go to the course room in Lisam. Click "submissions" ("inlämningar") and chose the one that applies to you.
  • If this is the first time you use Lisam for submitting exercises, consult the student manual.
  • This is a "spontaneous group submission"which means that you form pairs freely amongst the students. If you form a group of more than two students, the last student(s) in the list will be removed by the teachers.
  • Your submissions will be sent to Ouriginal, which is an automatic plagiarism checker. (In 2026, it will be replaced by Inspera Originality)
  • The grading scale in Lisam is not given. Don't bother about that.
  • Any mails from Ouriginal about not having enough text for checking can be ignored.

 

Grading and Results

Each complete exercise gives one credit to the exam. Attendance of the 45-minute seminar where reference solutions are discussed is worth one more credit to the exam. Please see the examination page for more details.
