Course Structure

This course is built on the content in the course literature and a series of complementary lectures, related study questions and exercises. The course is given during a set time period with a final exam at the end of the course. During this time period, any questions on the course content will be answered via marinepetrophysics[at]geo.su.se

Self-study questions and exercises

The study questions and exercises are aimed to facilitate learning of the course content. It is mandatory that they are completed, but they are not graded. They are all self-corrected.

Exam

The exam is in the form of a regular written test. It is not possible to take the exam outside of the given period for the course. However, there will be opportunities for taking re-exams following Stockholm University’s rules and procedures. You can take the exam at the Department of Geological Sciences, Stockholm University or at any of the study centres (lärcentra) found here: www.nitus.se . If you are not located in Sweden, you may take the exam at the Swedish Embassy or Consulate.

You need to provide us:

• Your name • Personal ID number • Email address • Where you want to take the exam: at Stockholm University or a study centre • Contact person at the study centre
