Programme description

  • Introduction

    Skriftlig prosjektrapport levert på slutten av semesteret. Individuelt eller i gruppe (maks. 5 studenter), 4000 ord (+/-10 %).

    Ved gruppearbeid skal studentenes ulike bidrag komme frem i rapporten. Normalt får alle i gruppen samme karakter, men i unntakstilfeller kan individuelle karakterer tildeles etter prosjektveilederen(e) og studieleder sin vurdering.

    Eksamensresultat kan påklages.
