| Permitted aids | With certain aids, see list below
Unless otherwise stated in the course description in Moodle, it is
permitted to bring all kinds of (engineering) aids including books,
notes and advanced calculators. If the student brings a computer,
it is not permitted to have access to the Internet and the teaching
materials from Moodle must therefore be down loaded in advance on
the computer. It is emphasized that no form of electronic
communication must take place. |
