Eksamen er en tre-dagers hjemmeeksamen. Den består av to deler, der del 1 er en av de to siste, store produksjonsoppgavene studenten har gjennomført i løpet av semesteret og en refleksjon rundt dette arbeidet. Del 2 vil være en individuell teoretisk/analytisk oppgave.

Kandidaten velger fritt hvilken av de to store produksjonsoppgavene som skal leveres inn som eksamensarbeid.

Eksamensbesvarelsen vurderes samlet. Hvis enten del 1 eller 2 vurderes til karakteren F, vil den samlede vurderingen være stryk.

Kandidater som ikke består eller har gyldig fravær ved ordinær eksamen, kan fremstille seg til ny og utsatt eksamen. Vurderingsformen vil da være den samme som ved ordinær eksamen.

Alle hjelpemidler er tillatt så lenge regler for kildehenvisning følges.

Vurderingsuttrykket er en gradert skala med fem trinn fra A til E for bestått og F for ikke bestått.

Det benyttes to sensorer, og for minst 25 prosent av besvarelsene skal den ene sensoren være ekstern. For detaljert informasjon om bruk av ekstern sensor, se avsnittet om vurdering.
