Course specific compensatory support

The following is an inofficial translation of the Download Swedish original

of the rules for this course.

For the exam:

No requirement to submit the form:

  1. The following compensatory support will always be accepted - arrangements will automatically be made by Tentafunka:

  • Arrangements regarding room, time or physical constraints, like for example longer writing time, special room or medical arrangements.

  1. The following compensatory support will be accepted, given it will be arranged by Tentafunka

  • Write on a computer (only computers from Tentafunka are accepted. In particular, programming tools must not be available)

  • Dictionary (English/Swedish, but no mathematical or programming reference works)

Support that always has to be applied for:

  1. The following support will be accepted, given that the student has applied for it until the deadline using the application form.

  • Special print of the exam (contrast, size, ...)

  • Exam read to student (this only applies to text, i.e. no formulas or programs will be read out loudly)

Special support that will not be accepted:

  • References and other aids.

    Not allowed since the aim of the course is to solve problems related to parallel programming on high-performance computers with the methods developed in the course and general skills acquired in previous required courses.

  • Oral examination instead of written one
    Not allowed since this will change the nature of the examination.

  • Handheld calculatorsNot used since the examination do not contain any such computational tasks.

Grade improvement (plussning):

Grade improvement is possible. If TentaFunka does not arrange or is not responsible for compensatory support, then the grade improvement will happen without compensatory support.
