Student workload

3 cr = 80 h student work
- 14 h laboratory work
- 66 h independent work, reports an pre-assignments

Evaluation methods and criteria

The course is assessed on a scale from 0 - 5 based on the scorse from
- pre-assignments
- laboratory notes and reports

Laboratory notes must be returned for all works.

Activity and work habits in the laboratory may affect the grade +/-1.
