| Objectives description (assessment criteria) |
The goal of the course is that the student acquires: Knowledge: ● Preliminary knowledge of logic and discrete mathematics and the understanding of what is going on in a given situation when it is applied. Skills: ● Oral and written presentation of logical and algorithmic reasoning Kompetencies: ● The use of logic and discrete mathematics as a means for modeling and as a tool for specification and communication in relevant scientific (not least computational) connections. ** CURRICULUM FOR THE BACHELOR STUDY PROGRAMME IN NATURAL SCIENCES § 19**. Courses BK 4 to BK 8: Courses in the natural sciences: The objectives of courses BK 4 to BK 8 are to give students a broad introduction to and basic knowledge of the natural sciences with the aim of enabling them to make a qualified choice of subject modules, and to complete these. |

Two or three individual mini projects, completed in groups, which must be handed in during the semester. The mini projects are based on a handed out problem formulation. A precondition for taking the exam is that the student has handed in and received approval for a number of minor assignments set during the course. |
| Form of examination |
Individual oral exam with a duration of 15 minutes based on two or three individual mini projects |
| Form of re-examination |
Individual oral exam with a duration of 15 minutes based on two or three individual mini projects |
| Examination type |
Individual examination
|
| Assessment |
7-point grading scale
|
| Moderation |
Internal (i.e. course lecturer and an internal examiner assess)
|
| Evaluation- and feedback forms |
All courses include formative evaluation during the course based on dialogue between the students and the teacher(s). All courses are also evaluated through a questionnaire in SurveyXact and oral evaluation at the end of the course. The Study Board will handle all evaluations along with any comments from the course responsible teacher. |
