Examination
The course consists of a number of themes and contains one or more lab exercises for some of the themes. Labs are performed in groups of 2 students. For each lab your are required to hand in your code and a written report answering questions on the lab.
There is one deadline for all labs at the end of the course, but it is recommended to hand in labs as soon as possible as some exercises are dependent on that you have solved the exercises for previous themes. After the course there are deadlines in connection to the retake exams and labs will only be graded in relation to these deadlines (not earlier).
Exam times and lab deadlines:
- August 31, 2024, 8-12
- January 16, 2025, 14-18
- March/April, 2025
- August, 2025
For each lab there are one or several exercises that you need to pass. To pass the lab series you need to pass all labs.
The exam is a writen exam and is graded with fail, 3, 4, or 5. To pass the exam you need at least grade 3.
The final grade on the course is based on the written exam.
Rules for examination of computer lab assignments at IDA
You are expected to do lab assignments in group or individually, as instructed for a course. However, examination is always based on individual performance.
It is not allowed to hand in solutions copied from other students, or from elsewhere, even if you make changes to the solutions. If there is suspicion of such, or any other form of cheating, teachers are obliged to report it to the University Disciplinary Board.
Be prepared to answer questions about details in specific code and its connection to theory. You may also be asked to explain why you have chosen a specific solution. This applies to all group members.
If you foresee problems meeting a deadline, contact your teacher. You can then get some help and maybe the deadline can be set to a later date. It is always better to discuss problems, instead of, e.g., to cheat.
Any kind of academic dishonesty, such as cheating (e.g., plagiarism, use of unauthorized assistance, and use of prohibited AI-based assistants) and failure to comply with university examination rules, may result in the filing of a complaint to the University Disciplinary Board. The potential penalties include suspension, warning.
Policy for handing in computer lab assignments at IDA
For all IDA courses having computer lab assignments there will be one deadline during or at the end of the course. If you fail to make the deadline, you must retake the, possibly new, lab course the next time the course is given.
If a course deviates from this policy, information will be given on the course web pages.
