Workload
Coursework requirements - conditions for taking the exam
The student must deliver:
- a project description within two weeks after starting the project
- a mid-term report
Coursework requirements must be accepted to qualify for the exam.
Exam
Paper and individual oral exam
The assessment is based on the paper and an individual oral exam.
The paper (approx. 10 pages) is graded on the A - F grading scale. It is given a tentative grade of the paper. This grade can be adjusted at the oral presentation. The papers can be carried out individually or in groups of two students. The students will get an individual grade. The paper must be passed before the oral presentation can be carried out
The individual oral exam consists of a presentation and discussion of the paper. Duration approx. 20-30 min. Except the presentation, no supporting materials are allowed.
If the student decides to challenge the assessment, the paper must be re-assessed. If the new assessment affects the tentative grading of the paper, a new oral exam will be arranged.
