Learning methods and activities
Lectures, project, group guidance and workshops/practice lessons.
Compulsory assignments
- Participation in presentation and guidance meetings
Further on evaluation
Project deliverables must be in accordance with the specification (stated at the start of the semester).
The project is assessed as group work and all students in the group normally receive the same grade. In special cases where a student has not contributed sufficiently, the student may be given an individual grade based on documented lack of effort and/or workload (for example, due to absence, lack of working hours, and similar reasons.)
All partial assessments must be passed to pass the course.
Continuation and voluntary re-sit can be carried out for each partial assessment without all partial assessments in a subject has to be retaken.
The re-sit exam for the written school exam is held in August. Written exam might be changed to oral exam for the re-sit exam.
In the event of voluntary repetition, fail (F) or valid absence, the entire project must be retaken in a semester with teaching.
Participation in project meetings with supervisors and a presentation related to the project are mandatory.
