Introduction
Fagstoffet gjennomgås i plenumsforelesninger. I første del av semesteret får studentene øvingsoppgaver som ikke skal leveres inn. Senere blir det gitt to oppgaver utgjør en del av karaktergrunnlaget som beskrevet under.
Required preliminary courses
Ingen arbeidskrav/obligatoriske aktiviteter.
Learning outcomes
Vurderingen består av 2 innleveringsoppgaver i løpet av semesteret og individuell skriftlig eksamen på 4 timer. De to innleveringsoppgavene, på opptil 3 000 ord hver, skal utføres individuelt eller i grupper på inntil 4 studenter. Oppgavene teller 40 % og skoleeksamen 60 %. Totalkarakter settes etter en helhetsvurdering.
Ved gjentak av eksamen, må man levere både nye innleveringer og gå opp til ny skriftlig skoleeksamen.
Det gis tilbakemelding på prosjektoppgavene i løpet av semesteret, men endelig karaktervedtak gjøres etter eksamen. Det er ikke klagemulighet på underveisevalueringen isolert.
Teaching and learning methods
The teaching takes place with in-person attendance on campus, and consists of lectures, seminar group- and individual exercises.
Course meetings are divided into lecture and seminar portions. In the seminar, student project groups and/or individual students work with practical exercises. The seminars will be supervised on demand. Students will complete practical exercises in each seminar, which will be collected in a "project portfolio". Portfolio work will receive feedback from the instructor and at specified times throughout the semester and a selection of the work will comprise a portion of the final exam.
Course requirements
The following coursework requirements must have been approved in order for the student to take the exam:
- Coursework 1: Participation in at least 80% of the seminars.
- Coursework 2: An oral presentation, presented by the student project group, as well as peer feedback to another group's work. The presentation can be anything from a presentation of results from that group's work, to presenting the most interesting group discussion or reflection on course related topics.
Attendance during the group presentation is mandatory, and presentations and feedback must be approved by the course lecturer. Students who are not present or who have not provided input to the group or have not participated in providing feedback to a peer group, or have 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
Det benyttes en intern og en ekstern sensor til sensurering av besvarelsene.
Et uttrekk på minst 25 % av besvarelsene sensureres av to sensorer. Karakterene på de besvarelsene som er vurdert skal danne grunnlag for å fastsette nivå på resten av besvarelsene.
