    Alternative methods of attainment for implementation

    The grade of the course is based on the four homework assignments. 40% of the points must be obtained from the homework in order for the course to be considered completed. If separately agreed on, the course may include a retake exam. If necessary and when agreed on in advance, the exercises can be renewed within a certain period of time when this has been agreed with the teacher.
