For å bestå praksisemnet må

• alle arbeidskrav og obligatorisk tilstedeværelse i hver praksisperiode være vurdert til "Godkjent".
• alle praksisperioder være vurdert til "Bestått".

Tvil om bestått praksisperiode

Dersom det oppstår tvil om studenten vil bestå praksisperioden, skal studenten varsles muntlig og skriftlig halvveis i perioden for å kunne forbedre seg. Praksislærer ved praksisstedet gjennomfører en individuell midtveissamtale med studenten og formulerer et varsel ved behov. Det kan ved enkelte tilfeller være behov for at studenter varsles etter denne fristen.

Ikke bestått praksisperiode

Dersom studenter ikke består en praksisperiode, kan samme praksisperiode kun gjennomføres en gang til. Studenten kan bare melde seg opp til praksisopplæring neste gang den samme praksisperioden arrangeres i emnet.

Bestemmelser om eksamen er gitt i Lov om universiteter og høgskoler og Forskrift om studier og eksamen ved OsloMet og Forskrift til rammeplan for praktisk-pedagogisk utdanning.

Grade scale A-F.

The exam papers are assessed by one internal and one external examiner. At least 25% of the exam papers will be assessed by two examiners. The grades awarded for the papers assessed by two examiners form the basis for determining the level for all the exam papers.
