Study coordinator
Börje Johansson is responsible for the administration
of our undergraduate courses (Göteborg University and Chalmers
University of Technology). This includes updating of syllabuses,
course catalogues, programme catalogue (Göteborg University)
and taking part in scheduling (Chalmers). He is also contact person
for students planning to do their master's theses.
Undergraduate
education
The division provides undergraduate courses for both Göteborg
University and Chalmers University of Technology.
A teaching year is divided into two terms, the Autumn term (Hösttermin,
running from late August until Christmas) and the Spring term (Vårtermin,
running from mid-January to early June). Each term is itself divided
into two periods (läsperioder, lp1 and lp2 in the Autumn
term, and lp3 and lp4 in the Spring term) of eight weeks each. A
period usually comprises seven weeks of lectures and tutorials and
one week of exams.
There is a two and a half week break for Christmas and New Year,
and a two week break around Easter time. Most courses take place
within a period, although some courses last for a whole term, or
even a whole year. Many of our courses are taken by both Chalmers
and Göteborg University students, studying a wide range of
degrees from Physics to Electrical Engineering, and our own Computer
Science degree. Chalmers students take three courses per period,
whereas Göteborg University students generally take only two.
Upon successful completion of a course, students are awarded course
points. Chalmers students generally receive 3.3 points per course,
while Göteborg University students usually receive 5 points
per course. One course point is intended to correspond to one week's
study. GU students have additional course requirements which are
intended to account for the difference in points. In many cases
the Chalmers passing score on course exams is 24 out of 60, whereas
the Göteborg University passing score is 28 out of 60 (by convention,
most exams here have a maximum score of 60). To pass an undergraduate
degree, apart from amassing enough course points, a student is also
required to undertake a significant project known as examensarbete
(literally "degree work"). Often these projects have an
industrial aspect, and many of our exjobbare (students doing
their degree project) undertake their project at Ericsson, Volvo,
Saab, and other Swedish companies that have an interest in computer
science graduates.
Student
guidance counsellor (GU)
Tina Ahlström Hellsén supplies information
concerning courses at Göteborg University. She monitors the
students' studies and can be contacted in case a student has study
related problems. She assists our teachers with course evaluations,
is responsible for registration for GU-courses as well as the admission
of all students on the waiting list. The student guidance counsellors
for the Chalmers students are associated to the different Chalmers
programs and do not work at the division.
Teaching
duties
Bror Bjerner is involved in the planning of your teaching
duties. If you are prevented from teaching of any kind, please contact
Bror immediately so that he can find a substitute teacher.
Study administrator

Rebecca Cyrén works with the administration of
our undergraduate courses. She is responsible for the scheduling
of our courses at Göteborg University and she orders the literature
for all our courses. Booking of the lecture halls of the division
can be done through Rebecca. She also co-ordinates the laboratory
work for the courses at the division and the booking of all student
equipment (computers).
Student
reception
Hedieh Mokhtari serves the students with course materials,
certificates, exam results, administrates the booking of halls for
exams etc (GU). Everyone that is responsible for a course makes
sure that Hedieh gets the course information and materials well
in advance of course start.
Technical

Henrik Lindgren is responsible for computer information
related to the laboratory work of the under-graduate courses, such
as the login procedure and what files to use. If you have a problem
with the login procedure for a course, please contact Henrik.
Computer

and engineering is buying the caretaker service (25%) from Mathematics
Centre. The caretakers, Jovan Pankovski and Stig-Ove Nilsson,
are in the EDIT-building every Tuesday from 1:00 pm. Their work
also includes copying and binding material for courses etc. Please
note that materials to be printed should be ordered well in advance
