While still active on this course web, I would like to ask for a last – but crucial – contribution! A week ago (10/1), an invitation to perform a course evaluation was sent to your LNU student e-mail address. I am very grateful for your feedback on the course, which will helps us improve it – therefore I would be very happy if you spent a little time to share your experience!
Finally … I will be back to each one of you with personal grading information via email, and to anyone who I don’t get in touch with in other way, I would like to wish a good outcome of all continued work or studies!
]]>Soon you will have crossed the finish line in this course! If still having residual tasks left behind, you may report them during ongoing “pick-up-week” – before the absolute course deadline on January 14. Since it wasn’t desirable to put step test during the Christmas break, the test schedule has been pushed a bit further forward than regular course period. Therefore, the course’s major overview test is set on the last course date and can as usual be performed even the Monday thereafter.
The final test on January 14-15 is an overview test and therefore more comprehensive than previous tests – this test will cover topics from entire course. The number of questions will be 48 and the test time is hence prolonged to 120 minutes! The final test is performed according to same procedure as other tests, with one exception – the result cannot be improved by later re-testing. If failing (< 50%) you may re-do the test, but you cannot affect an already approved result by re-taking it. Therefore, it’s very important to be well prepared for the test!
If any test still failed after course deadline, a last chance to re-test for this course will be offered on January 21-22. Please note that this opportunity doesn’t apply to already approved tests! Next possibility to examine theory is to re-register for the course next year. Larger amount of residual labs will also be referred to the next course.
Wednesday, January 10, a personal invitation to conduct a course evaluation will be sent to you via your student e-mail. With the help of your answer, we may get to know if our web-based course has fulfilled your expectations and how its quality can be improved. I thank you in advance for your feedback, which will be very valuable to us!
I also wish you all good luck in the final sprint!
]]>During Sunday to Monday, 7-8/1, it’s once again time for step test – this time the last ”regular” step test 6 runs. What then remains is the course’s final overview test (14/1). It spans the whole course theory, and therefore has a lot more questions (48) but also longer test time (120 minutes). This test is called “Final overview test, step 1 – 6″ in the Study plan, where you also find the details regarding final course deadline and (if needed) last chance for re-tests. (This exam time is only available for those who have a not-yet-passed test left to do!)
]]>Step 5, which elapsed over the last two weeks, has its deadline on the last Sunday of the year, 31/12, meaning it’s time for step-test 5. Well, I do not expect anyone to take an exam on New Year’s Eve! Therefore, please note in the Study plan that step-test 5 is postponed one day, compared to the usual times, ie. opens at lunchtime on January 1 instead! Thereafter, the test is as usual active for 1.5 days, which also applies to re-tests for those who wish to re-examine an earlier step.
Good luck and have a wonderful New Year’s celebration!
]]>I will do my best to check as many lab reports as possible the next few days, but since I’m on vacation over the Christmas and New Year holidays, it’s possible that I will not manage to answer everyone. In these cases, feedback for step 4 is provided in connection with step 5. For the same reason, it’s okay for you, who haven’t yet reported step 4, to send your labs later . It’s not good to rush with the programming work, but better solve the tasks well and get good outcome from the course. What you can’t finish before the holidays, you will hopefully catch up after “Santa’s” weekend.
Since no tutoring is available during the holidays, I ask you all to, as far as possible, help and support each other on Slack! And finally I also wish you all a most pleasant and relaxing upcoming Christmas season!
God jul!
I also remind about Step test 3, which is approaching. It’s open during the nearest weekend, December 3-4. Also note that current test covers both parts A and B, however, the number of questions is as usual just 16.
