SYK2900 Public Health in a Global Perspective Course description

Eksamen gjennomføres i vårsemesteret. Eksamen er en individuell FoU-oppgave med omfang 5000 ord +/- 10%. Oppgaven leveres elektronisk innen oppgitt frist.;

Oppgaven må oppfylle IKT-krav og bestemte krav til utforming. Slike kriterier publiseres på universitetets læringsplattform i god tid før studenten begynner på sin oppgave. Egenerklæring vedrørende fusk og plagiering og egenerklæring knyttet til hvorfor oppgaven ikke utløser NSD-krav, skal ligge som vedlegg i FoU-oppgaven ved innlevering.

Ny/utsatt eksamen

Ved ikke bestått karakter vil det være anledning til å omarbeide oppgaven ved første ny/utsatt eksamen. Etter dette leveres ny oppgave. Dersom FoU-oppgaven får bestått karakter, kan studenten ikke levere forbedret oppgave, men må eventuelt skrive ny FoU-oppgave ved ny eksamen. Dette innebærer at man skifter temaområde, eventuelt materiale for undersøkelse, faglig grunnlag og problemstilling. Innlevering av forbedret versjon av samme oppgave som ved tidligere eksamen er ikke tillatt, og slik innlevering vil ikke bli vurdert.

Alle hjelpemidler er tillatt.
