Course contact person

Eksamen består av en individuell skriftlig hjemmeoppgave på sju dager, i form av en fagartikkel, etter selvvalgt tema innen emnet på 5000 ord +/- ti prosent. I fagartikkelen skal kandidaten ta i bruk kunnskapsstoff fra pensum og knytte fagstoffet til profesjonsutøvelsen.

Dersom det skriftlige arbeidet vurderes til ikke bestått karakter, kan studenten en gang levere en omarbeidet versjon. Ved ytterligere eksamensforsøk må studenten levere en ny fagartikkel.
