MOKV3500 Data visualization Course description

Fiksjonsfilmproduksjonen skal leverast som eit større prosjektorganisert arbeid. Arbeidet skal dokumentere arbeidsprosessen til studentane - frå idé til ferdig produkt.

Den avsluttande vurderinga i emnet er sett saman av to eksamensdelar:

Eksamensdel 1: Gruppas fiksjonsfilmproduksjon inkludert manus og produksjonsplan. Det er ei felles gruppevurdering på eksamensdel 1. Omfanget på produksjonen er ca. 10 minutt.

Eksamensdel 2: Individuelt refleksjonsnotat med teoretisk del på 5-10 sider. Bruk fagtekstmalen i dette arbeidet. Normalt oppsett er halvannan linjeavstand, skriftstørrelse 11 eller 12 og Times New Roman, Calibri eller tilsvarande font. Litteraturliste, innhaldsliste og eventuelle vedlegg kjem i tillegg. Det individuelle refleksjonsnotatet dannar grunnlaget for justering av karakteren gitt i del 1. Karakteren kan justerast eitt trinn opp eller ned.

Klagefrist startar etter at sensur har falle på eksamensdel 2.

Alle delar av eksamen må vere bestått for at studenten skal stå på eksamen.

Studentar som ikkje består del 1 av eksamen kan som gruppe levere ein revidert versjon ein gang. Studentar som har bestått del 1, men ikkje består del 2 kan konte eksamen ved å levere del 1. på nytt saman med ein revidert del 2.

The course does not require previous experience with programming, but participants should have an interest for data and programming. Using your own laptop and having administrative rights to this laptop is necessary.

Alle hjelpemiddel er lov, så lenge ein følger reglar for kjeldebruk.

Gradert skala A-F.

Det vert nytta intern og ekstern sensor ved sensurering.

The course has three required assignments consisting of one individual assignment, one group presentation and one final assignment to be done individually or in groups. The following coursework requirements must have been approved in order for the student to take the exam:

1. Group presentation: Students have to demonstrate analytical and critical skills by analyzing a data driven and visualized web product. The presentation should last about 5 minutes not including Q&A.
   1. Aim: That the student via its own and others presentations gets a broad overview over various web based data visualization.
2. Individual assignment: Datamap. Students have to demonstrate the skills needed to make a data driven map.
   1. Aim: The student must make a map based on structured geographical data souce.
3. Project plan for final exam assignment. The plan should be at least 5 pages in length including images, sketches etc. The written part should be 700-1000 words.
   1. Aim: The students must as a group produce a plan for the exam project to get an assesment wether the project is appropriate and feasible.

All required coursework must be completed and approved by the given deadline in order for the student to take the exam. If one or more coursework requirements have not been approved, the student will be given the opportunity to submit an improved version one time by the given deadline.

The exam consists of two parts.

Part 1 is a group or individual project made by groups of 1-3 students. The work must include a written article with at least 2 graphics elements based on structured datasets. The elements can be made with any tools we have used in class or other tools approved by the course administrator. All members of the group will get the same grade grade for part 1.

Part 2 is a individual written reflection paper where the student should demonstrate the learning outcomes for the project and the course. The paper should be about 2000 words in length. The assessment of the reflection paper can result in the student’s final grade being adjusted one step up or one step down. Font and font size: Arial/Calibri 12 points. Line spacing: 1.5.

The exam can be written in Norwegian or English.

The appeal deadline starts running after the examination results for part 2 are published.

The student must pass all parts of the exam to get an overall pass.

Students who do not pass part 1 of the exam may submit a revised version, either individually or as a group, once. Students who have passed part 1, but not part 2, can resubmit their examination by re-handing in part 1 with a revised part 2

All aids are permitted, as long as the rules for source referencing are complied with.

Graded scale A-F.

The exam assignment is assessed per group by two sensors. For at least 25 percent of assignments one sensor must be external. The grades set by an external sensor sould form the basis for asessing the level of the assignments in relation to grades. Internal sensors must take into account the external sensors assessment during sensoring.
