Exam
The exam is a group based home exam. The exam is handed out at the beginning of the course.
Should the student fail the exam there will be a second opportunity. The second attempt will consist of improving the original exam.
Group based exams requires that students develop and sign a group contract and keep a log of members attendance, contributions and assigned tasks. These contracts and logs must be provided to the head of the course or the tutor if requested.
