News
19.10.2010: There will be two questions hours (feel free to go to any of them): One by Magnus, Thursday Oct. 21st, 14:00 in U49; the other by Kathja, Monday Oct. 25th, 15:00 in U26a. Magnus will go through the exam from last year - it is profitable if you bring the exam set and have a look at it before.

Mandatory Assignments
During the course there will be three mandatory assignments, which count for 30% of the final grade. If you miss the deadline for submission, the solution is graded with 0 points. The assignments are part of the exam and have to be solved individually. Solutions to assignments must not be copied from other people's work in full or in part. Working together will be treated as exam cheating. Please refer to this page for more detailed rules of academic integrity.
The solutions have to be submitted via Blackboard. For sumitting your solutions you need your CPR-number. Note that in the upper left hand corner of the blackboard webpage for this course, there is an icon which you can click on to expand the menu for the course. It is just to the left of the code for and name of the course. For handing in as assignment click on the menu entry "Tools", and then choose "Assignment hand in". Blackboard will send you a receipt via email. Note that you will not be able to turn in an assignment late.
- The first mandatory assignment is given on the weekly notes for week 36. The deadline for submission will be September 17th, 13:00.
- The second mandatory assignment is given on the weekly notes for week 37. The deadline for submission will be September 24th, 13:00.
- The third mandatory assignment is given on the weekly notes for week 38. The deadline for submission will be October 1st, 13:00.
Solutions need to be submitted as one PDF file. Other formats are not accepted.
The front page of a solution file should clearly specify your name, the discussion section name (M1, S1, or S7), and a date and a time of when the PDF was created (such that the latest versions can be determined in case of resubmissions).
