More on assessment: Obligatory exercises must be approved before students are allowed to take the take-home exam. The size of the exercises must be between 6-10 typed A4-pages each (line spacing 1.5). The size of the take-home exam depends partly on the subject, but is usually between 8-15 typed A4-pages (line spacing 1.5).
