  • Course requirements

    The students must have attended at least three of four seminars and have individual reflection notes approved (approx. 5-7 pages per note) linked to the seminars they have attended. Students who fail to meet the coursework requirements can be given up to one opportunity to resubmit reflection notes before the exam.

  • Assessment

    Portfolio assessment subject to the following requirements:

    1) Project report prepared in groups of 2-3 students, approx. 50-70 pages without appendices, with oral presentation, weighted approx. 70 %. Individual project reports can be accepted in exceptional cases in agreement with the course coordinator.

    2) Individual in-depth report, approx. 10-15 pages without appendices, with oral presentation, weighted approx. 30 %

    Each student's work will be assessed together as a portfolio with one individual grade at the end of the semester, but the two parts that make up the portfolio must be assessed as 'pass' in order for the student to pass the course. The weights are approximate and included here to provide additional information to the students on how their work is assessed. Detailed guidelines for the project assignments will be published in Canvas.

    The overall assessment cannot be appealed. Formal errors can be appealed. If a student fails the portfolio assessment, he/she is given one opportunity to resubmit the portfolio.
