Introduction
The following must have been approved in order for the student to take part 2 of the examination:
- presentation based on project-oriented practical training (individual or in groups). Scope of about 30 minutes with an opponent;
- individual reflection note from practical training. Scope: 700 words (+/- 10%).
Required preliminary courses
Combined assessment:
Part 1) Assessed practical training The assessment is based on the learning outcomes for the course, the student's specification of the learning outcomes and the assessment made of the student during the practical training period.
Students’ practical training can only be assessed if their attendance is sufficiently high.
- The student must attend at least 90% of the scheduled time
- The student will be allowed to make up for absence of between 10 and 20% by agreement with the practical training supervisor and the supervisor from the university
- If a student’s absence exceeds 20%, he/she will fail the practical training*
- The attendance requirement cannot be deviated from due to illness or for other reasons
*If illness prevents the student from attending the practical training so that their absence exceeds the permitted amount, the student is normally required to present a valid medical certificate for all days of absence in excess of 10% of the scheduled time in order for the absence to be deemed valid. The student’s attempt at taking the practical training will then not count.
Part 2) An individual project examination in the form of an in-depth assignment
- Scope: 5,000 words (+/- 20%)
- Carried out in the course of the practical training period
Resit examination: If the student is awarded the grade F (fails the written assignment),;he/she will be given one (1) opportunity to submit a reworked version.
