You may upload the paper in Absalon before deadline (then you automatically have a kind of receipt) or hand in your paper to me at the lecture Wednesday 29/10 at 10:15.

The front page of the paper must contain:
1) names of all the authors,
2) date,
3) name of the course and lecturer.

General information

You are encouraged to do the problem set together with fellow students (max four students per group).
If you do not know other students, but would like to have a co-worker, you may send me an e-mail about it. Then I might be able to match you with somebody else in the same situation.
Although readable handwriting is OK, at least the correcting process will be easier if you use a computer. You may answer in English or Scandinavian as you prefer. Do not make your answers too long. The maximum accepted number of pages is 9 (12 if hand writing). Write in a concise way. Greg Mankiw has nice recommendations about how to write: http://gregmankiw.blogspot.com/2006/10/how-to-write-well.html.

Niklas and I comment on and evaluate your paper, i.e., evaluate whether it is "accepted" (corresponding to grade ≥ 02) or "not accepted".
To go in for the final written exam at the end of the semester, it is required that the term paper is accepted.
Good luck!
