Bacheloroppgaven er en selvstendig prosjektoppgave som utføres av studenter i gruppe. Bacheloroppgaven skal ha et innhold som er relevant for den aktuelle studieretning. Bacheloroppgaven skal være metode- og problemorientert, og skal legges opp slik at studentene får anledning til å bruke kunnskaper og ferdigheter fra flere områder.

Vurdering av bacheloroppgaven i gruppe (2-4 studenter) vil skje på grunnlag av gjennomføringen av prosjektet, rapporten, muntlig presentasjon og poster på engelsk:

1. Gjennomføringen og muntlig presentasjon teller 40 % og vurderes ut fra vanskelighetsgraden av prosjektet, planlegging, framdrift, initiativ, praktiske ferdigheter, vurderingsevne, selvstendighet og samarbeidsevne. Denne delen av prosjektet kan ikke påklages.
2. Rapporten og poster teller 60 % og vurderes ut fra faglig kvalitet, oversiktlighet, systematikk, språket, litteraturreferanser og grad av selvstendighet i skriveprosessen.

Begge delene av eksamen må være vurdert til karakter E eller bedre for at studenten skal kunne få bestått emnet.

Ved eventuell klage på karakter, er det kun del 2, eksamensresultat på rapporten, som kan påklages.
