Special features of TNEEM: E-learning activities

Maple T/A - Mobius: a core of E-learning of TNEEM used atReactor Physics SH2600 (9ECTS)

9 home assignments each week (corrected automatically).

E-learning exam (January 16, 2017).

All problems in the exam (and HAs) are individualised, i.e.parameters, data, boundary conditions, isotopes are randomlyvaried.

Solutions cannot be copied - risk for cheating is radicallyminimized at the exam.
