Course requirements

The following coursework is compulsory and must be approved before the student can sit the exam:

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. 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.

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.

Letter grading A-F.

Examiners

The course instructor will grade the assignment.

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.
