Course history

Introduction

The following required coursework must be approved before the student can take the exam:

  • Two mandatory mid-term group reports on the given portfolio/project (1000-1500 words)
  • One mandatory mid-term group oral presentation on the given portfolio/projects (20 minutes; 15 minutes of presentation and 5 minutes of questions and answers. All group members must be present at the group presentation and participate in questions and answers.)

Required preliminary courses

The assessment will be based on the following:

  • A group project delivery (2-4 students), consisting of a report (7500-3000 words) and code
  • An individual oral examination (20 minutes)

The weight of the two parts is 50% each. The oral exam (individual) cannot be appealed.

Both parts must be separately passed in order to pass the course.

The project report should be between 7500-3000 words. Both the code/program and the report will be evaluated. The comprehensiveness of the code/program is evaluated with the assumption that each student in the group has committed about 60 hours towards developing the solution. As a general guideline, the code/program carries a stronger weight than the report.

New/postponed exam

In case of failed exam or legal absence, the student may apply for a new or postponed exam. New or postponed exams are offered within a reasonable time span following the regular exam. The student is responsible for registering for a new/postponed exam within the time limits set by OsloMet. The Regulations for new or postponed examinations are available in Regulations relating to studies and examinations at OsloMet.

Learning outcomes
