Course requirements

Students must take part in at least three practical exercises and contribute to their groups reflection at the end of the course. The coursework requirement is a 15 minute oral presentation, presented by the group. The presentation can be anything from a presentation of results from that groups work, to presenting the most interesting group discussion or reflection on course related topics.

Attendance during group presentation is mandatory, and presentations must be approved by the course lecturer. Students who are not present or that have not provided input to the group, and presentations that are not approved, will have to submit an alternative qualification to be able to sit for the examination.

Lack of an approved course work requirement will disqualify the student from taking part in the final examination.

Assessment

The student's learning outcome will be assessed on the basis of an individual four-hour written school examination.

Permitted exam materials and equipment

Students may use a spelling dictionary, as well as a bilingual dictionary.

Grading scale

A grade scale A-F.

Examiners

The exam is graded by an internal and an external examiner.

A random selection consisting of at least 25% of the exam papers will be graded by both an internal and external examiner. This will inform the grading of the remaining exam papers.
