Course history

Introduction

The written exam will be assessed by an internal and an external examiner. A selection of at least 25% of the exam papers will be assessed by two examiners. The grades awarded to exam papers assessed by the external and internal examiner will be used to determine the level of all exam papers.

Recommended preliminary courses

The course primarily covers topics that do not build on elective courses. Thus required courses from first two years suffice although some concepts from elective courses, Corporate Finance (Foretaksfinans) and International Economics in particular, are useful.

Required preliminary courses

It is an advantage, but not obligatory, that the students have taken a course in Professional English at Oslo Business School.

The course in Cross-Cultural Communication deals with some issues that are relevant for the course in Negotiations.

Assessment

The grading is based on two components: 1. Obligatory Assignment; 2. Written examination.

The obligatory assignment counts 25% of the final grade. This assignment is to be carried out in groups of 2-3 students. However, in some special cases a student may be allowed to work individually. The teacher will give information regarding the deadline for handing in the assignment. Failing to hand-in the assignment within deadline will disqualify the group of the students (or the student as the case may be) to take the written examination.

The four-hour written examination at the end of the term counts 75% towards the final grade.

The final grade is based on weighted average of the obtained grades of the two components i.e. 25% for assignment + 75% for written exam. To get an overall grade, it is mandatory for the students to pass both the components i.e. assignment and written examination.

The students who wish to write the examination later, or the students who want to re-write the examination are not required to do the assignment afresh. Their obtained grade of the assignment shall count towards their final grade.
