Teaching format
Teaching takes place in the form of lectures, seminars and workshops. All teaching is in English and is compulsory. For more detailed information, please refer to the course description.
Assessment
a. The course is examined in English through a home writing and an oral presentation. For more detailed information, please refer to the course description.
b. Grading takes place according to a goal-related seven-point grading scale: A = Excellent, B = Very good, C = Good, D = Satisfactory, E = Sufficient, Fx = Insufficient, F = Completely insufficient.
c. The written grading criteria are communicated to the students at the start of the course.
d. To obtain a passing grade for the entire course, a minimum grade of E is required for home writing, an approved oral presentation and that the student has met the requirement of 80% compulsory attendance. If there are special reasons, the examiner may, after consultation with the responsible teacher, grant the student exemption from the obligation to participate in certain compulsory teaching, the student may then be imposed a compensation assignment. In the event of late submission of an examination to the examiner, the student may not receive a higher grade than D.
e. For each course opportunity, at least two examination opportunities must be available during the current semester. At least one examination opportunity must also be offered in the semester or year in which the course opportunity is missing. Students who have received the lowest grade E may not undergo a re-examination for higher grades. Students who have received the grade Fx or F on an examination twice in a row by one and the same examiner have the right to have another examiner appointed at the next examination, unless special reasons militate against it. Requests for this must be made to the department board.
f. Completion of the examination can be allowed if the student is close to the limit for passing, ie Fx. The assignment must be submitted within one week after the need for completion has been announced by the examiner. When approving the completion of deficiencies of an understanding nature - misunderstandings, minor errors or in some respects too limited reasoning - the grades D-E are used.Examiner
