Course requirements

The following coursework requirements must have been approved for the student to take the exam:

  • Peer review: Provide written feedback on another student’s written individual project (1-2 pages). The aim of this coursework requirement is to ensure that the student reflects on the central learning outcomes in the course when working with the individual project, and to make sure each student group has satisfactory progress in their individual project

All required coursework must be completed and approved by the given deadline for the student to take the exam. If the coursework requirements have not been approved, the student will be given one opportunity to submit an improved version by a given deadline.

Assessment

The exam in the course consists of two parts:

1. Written group project - counts 40% of the final grade

In the group project you will assess the sustainability performance of a business and make suggestions for improvements, based on frameworks and theories from the course.

The group project will be carried out in groups of 2-5 students. The group members will be randomly selected.

The group project should have a scope of 8-10 pages, excluding front page, table of contents, appendices. Font and font size: Arial / Calibri / Verdana 12 points. Line spacing: 1,5

2. Written individual project - counts 60% of the final grade

In the individual project you will research and write a report about one or more of the topics covered in the course.

The individual project should have a scope of 8-10 pages, excluding front page, table of contents, appendices. Font and font size: Arial / Calibri / Verdana 12 points. Line spacing: 1,5

The students can write their exams in Norwegian or in English.

The student receives two separate grades, one for the group project and one for the individual project.

Both parts of the exam must be passed in order to pass the course. Each exam component may be retaken separately.

Permitted exam materials and equipment

All aids are permitted, as long as the student complies with the rules for source referencing.
