Form(s) of Assessment

Other

Form(s) of Assessment (additional text)

In this course, the candidates are expected to develop a solution for a real-time computing problem. The assessment is based on the portfolio of work they produce while researching and solving the given problem and a final research report on the work. The candidates must provide a presentation of results and findings in a seminar. All parts of the assessment must be passed to pass the course.
