Coursework requirements - conditions for taking the exam
Exam
Portfolio assessment. The portfolio must contain two contributions:
- a) a book review of a child or youth novel in German (of the student's own choice), addressed at a Norwegian audience. The review should be about two pages long and be written in Norwegian.
- b) a more extensive assignment, such as a teaching concept or reading project anchored in didactic issues, a text analysis of one or more works, a comparative work, or a presentation of aspects of the history of literature. This assignment, of 12-15 pages including bibliography and notes, is to be written in German.
The topics for the assignments are chosen in cooperation with the course instructor, who will facilitate the writing process.
The assessment is based on knowledge, reflection, in-depth understanding, independence and the use of language. One mark is given for both components, using the A-F grading scale.
Course evaluation
This course is evaluated twice each semester.
The results are dealt with by a group of lecturers, the head of studies, and the local study quality committee.
