Further on evaluation
The assessment in the subject is carried out as a portfolio assessment with corrective oral assessment. The folder must contain digital boards with plans, sketches, drawings, illustrations, descriptive text and model photographs documenting the 3 project works included in the assessment in the subject. The digital plans are delivered together for censorship within the stated deadline. In case of a supplementary oral examination, the student group must make an oral presentation of the project work for the examiner. The right to submit to the exam requires that compulsory exercises have been approved. In the event of a failure, the student must take up the part that was failed in order to get a grade in the subject. The postponed exam is carried out early in the following semester so that students who have documented a valid failure/withdrawal at the previous ordinary exam have the opportunity to carry out normal study progression.
