Oral examination

The oral examination is at the end of week 21, i.e., 22–24 May. If you haven't signed up for the doodle, do that asap!

Each group has to prepare this before the meeting:

• Bring a computer and make sure both your programs work. The first thing we want you to do is to show a hands-on quick run of each program, around 5 minutes each. Just so that we can see that they work and that we can get a feeling of how they are used.

Note that the examination is not an important part of the grading! Instead it's more like a safety catch for us (and you), so that we can assess your projects better, and give better and more individual grades.

• Every group has 30–40 minutes to present both their programs and answer our questions about their implementations.
• The purpose is so that we can get convinced that all of you has taken part in the project work, that you haven't cheated or things like that. So, we will ask questions about your programs, how they work and/or why they don't work as expected. (No program works as expected).
• We will not ask questions on the course literature, and we will not ask about details of the project reports. (The first is already finished, and we won't have had time to read the second yet).
• We might also ask about what work each of you did, so that we can get information about your individual grades.
• If there's time we will ask you for feedback so that the course can be even better next year!

Grading

You final programs and reports are graded separately. Each part (program, report) of each project will get a final grade in the scale U/G/VG. Since there are two projects, each group will get four grades. This table shows the general idea:

	Project 1	Project 2
Program	U/G/VG	U/G/VG
Report	U/G/VG	U/G/VG

(I think you get the point).

Given that all group members contributed equally, the grade for a group member equals the grade of the group. If it turns out that one or more group members contributed substantially more, or less, than the rest of the group, we will adjust the grade accordingly. A group or individual may fail the course (get "underkänt") if the contribution is too low.

To assess your contribution we will look at:

• the quality and extent of the submitted work.
• your contribution as recorded in the diary.
• your attendance and participation during the supervision sessions and the oral exam.

The final grade for the course depends on if the student is at GU or Chalmers:

• Grades for GU:
  • to get VG you need at least 75% VG, the rest G
  • to get G you need all grades at least G
• Grades for Chalmers:
  • to get 5 you need 100% VG
  • to get 4 you need at least 50% VG, the rest G
  • to get 3 you need all grades at least G
