Further on evaluation

Aggregated assessment is the basis for the grade in the course. The aggregated assessments includes a Group exercise work counting 40 % and a written exam counting 60 %.

Assessment of the parts is stated with letter grades according to the grade scale for the percentage assessment method.

Mandatory work (Project work) from previous semester can be accepted by the Department by re-take of an examination if there haven't been any significant changes later.

All assessments must be passed before the overall result can be calculated in the course.

At postponed exam (re-sit exam), the examination form may be changed from written examination to oral. The re-sit exam is arranged in August.

Continuation and voluntary repetition / improvement can be carried out for some sub-evaluations without having to reassess both sub-evaluations in a topic. There is an opportunity to complain about partial assessments in this topic before all sub-evaluations have been completed.
