Lecture plan 2000

Passing the course:

• Examination: The exam requirements consist of the material distributed to the students.
• The Assignment: The course includes a compulsory assignment which is done in two persons’ teams. In the assignment is done a radio network plan for a fictive service area. In the assignment should the planning methods taught in the lectures be applied.

The first exam is on May 22, 2000, and the next exam will be in autumn 2000.

Final grade:

• The final course grade is calculated from the formula:

 

 

           Final grade =  (2Texam + Tassignment)/3

Both the exam and assignment grade should be accepted.

Literature:

• Lecture material.
