Part 2 Project work in a group of 3-5 students which counts for 30%. Written report of 20-30 pages, process and presentation are assessed. Possibility of individual grading if different work effort can be documented, or different levels of knowledge about the content of the report are evident from the presentation.

Both parts of the examination must be graded pass/E or better in order to pass the course.

Part 1 must be passed before part 2 oral presentation of the project assignment can be carried out.

Resit exam: A student who fails the ordinary exam, may nevertheless submit a reworked version as a resit.

Part 2 Presentation of project assignment

• In seminar.

The presentation can be given in English or Scandinavian language. The individual group must deliver in the same language.

Part 1 and part 2 must have obtained a pass grade on both parts in order to pass the course as a whole and earn the credits. Part 1 and part 2 appear on the diploma.

In situations where group cooperation does not work as it should, it may be necessary to adjust the group composition. This can be done, for example, by reorganising the groups or letting certain members work with other groups. If collaboration problems cannot be resolved, it may also be an alternative for the individual student to complete the exam alone.
