Further on evaluation

Portfolio assessment is the basis for the grade in the course. The portfolio includes a project counting 10 % and a written exam counting 90 %. The results for the parts are given in %-scores, while the entire portfolio is assigned a letter grade according to the grading scale using percentage points.

Mandatory work from previous semester can be accepted by the Department by re-take of an examination if there have not been any significant changes later.

By a re-take of an examination all assessments during the course, that counts in the final grade, have to be re-taken.

If there is a re-sit examination, the examination form may be changed from written to oral.
