Economics and Business Administration, 1-year Programme - part time Programme description

Each course concludes with a final examination which takes the form of either a written examination, a written home assignment, a semester paper or a portfolio. Students may use a spelling dictionary, as well as a bilingual dictionary during written school examinations. All examinations are graded by an internal examiner. In addition, an external examiner will evaluate at least 25 per cent of examinations, which will form the basis for the internal examiners grading.

Students who are not satisfied with their grades have the right to submit an appeal, whereupon examinations will be re-evaluated by two new examiners (one internal and the other external). Note that when appealing, students risk receiving a lower grade than the grade awarded for the initial examination.The Master Thesis will be evaluated by both an internal and an external examiner. Neither examiner shall be involved in the supervision of the Master thesis in question.

Students in the Department of Social Work, Child Welfare and Social Policy must use the APA style when citing sources and referencing.

A grading scale from A to F will normally be used in assessment. A grade of pass ranges from A to E, while F is a fail. In some courses students will receive a grade of either pass or fail. In this case, pass will be equivalent to grade C or better. See the description of each course for further information on the use of the grading system.

The following documents regulate examinations at OsloMet:

• the Act Relating to Universities and University Colleges
• the Directive for Curricula Regulations from the Ministry of Education and Research
• Regulations Relating to Studies and Examinations at OsloMet.

It is the responsibility of students to familiarise themselves with these rules and regulations. Information regarding some of these responsibilities will be disseminated to students during Introduction Week, as well as during lectures, and on the e-learning platform Canvas

Required coursework is all forms of work, tests and compulsory attendance that are requirements for a student to be assessed/permitted to take the exam. Required coursework is assessed as approved/not approved. The rules concerning cheating in the Act relating to Universities and University Colleges, the Regulations relating to Studies and Examinations at OsloMet – Oslo Metropolitan University and the Guidelines for Dealing with Cheating and Attempt at Cheating in Connection with an Examination at OsloMet also apply to required coursework.

The coursework requirements for each course are described in the relevant course description. The purpose of coursework requirements is to

• contribute to students achieving the learning outcomes in the courses
• promote progress and academic development in the programme
• encourage students to seek out and acquire new knowledge
• facilitate cooperation and communication on social education issues

It is the students’ responsibility to ensure that coursework requirements are met by the deadlines stipulated.

Most of the coursework requirements in the programme concern compulsory attendance, written assignments to be submitted individually or in groups, multiple-choice tests, group work that may be supervised, oral presentations and feedback to fellow students.

Attendance requirements

A compulsory attendance requirement applies in some courses to ensure that the students have the necessary basis for achieving the learning outcomes. Compulsory attendance requirements are stipulated for skills training, group work, oral presentations and academic supervision. The specific attendance requirements are described in the course description; 90% for practical training and 80 or 100% for parts of theoretical courses.

If a student exceeds the maximum limit for absence, the person responsible for the course will consider whether it is possible to compensate for absence by meeting alternative requirements, for example individual written assignments. Whether or not it is possible to compensate for absence depends on the extent of the student's absence and which activities he/she has missed. Absence that cannot be compensated for may lead to delayed progress in the programme.

Written assignments

Several courses have written assignments as required coursework. Written assignments that are not approved must be reworked before re-submission. If the work is not approved on re-submission, the student cannot take the ordinary exam/assessment.

The student is entitled to a third attempt before the resit/rescheduled exam. If a piece of required coursework is not approved, this may lead to delayed progress in the programme. More detailed requirements for written work, deadlines etc. are set out in the teaching plan for the course in question.

Digital tests

In some courses, the students must take individual digital tests as required coursework. The tests are taken via the university's digital platform. Whether or not the test is approved depends on the percentage of correct answers. The requirement is usually 80–100%. Some of the tests can be taken several times until the minimum requirement is achieved. For other tests, there are deadlines for submission, and students are entitled to a third attempt before the resit/rescheduled exam.

A digital test must be approved within a set deadline in order for the student to be able to sit the ordinary exam. If a piece of required coursework is not approved, this may lead to delayed progress in the programme.

Different forms of assessment are used in the programme that are adapted to the learning outcomes of the different courses. Suitability assessments are carried out on a continuous basis. The forms of assessment used are intended to support learning and document that the students’ competence is adequate in relation to the applicable learning outcomes, and to be in accordance with the programme requirements. The students will receive advice and supervision and have their performance assessed during the programme.

Exams and practical training are assessed in accordance with the applicable rules set out in the Act relating to Universities and University Colleges, the Regulations relating to Studies and Examinations at OsloMet and the Guidelines for Appointment and Use of Examiners at OsloMet.

The forms of assessment are described in the individual course descriptions. All passed exams and practical training will be stated on the diploma, along with the title of the student's bachelor's thesis.

Suitability Suitability assessments of all students are carried out on a continuous basis throughout their studies, cf. the Regulations concerning Suitability Assessment in Higher Education. Diplomas for the completed programme will only be awarded to graduates who are suited to practise the profession. A student who represents a potential threat to the physical or mental health, rights and safety of his/her patients and colleagues is not suited for the profession.

Suitability assessments are made on a continuous basis throughout the study programme and will be included in the overall assessment of the students' professional and personal suitability for work as health personnel. Students who demonstrate little ability to master the social educator profession must be informed of this at the earliest possible stage of the programme. They will be given supervision and advice on how to improve or be advised to leave the programme. Special suitability assessments are used in special cases, cf. the Regulations concerning Suitability Assessment in Higher Education.

Exams and assessment All courses conclude with an exam. The assessment is based on the learning outcomes for the course and decides whether the student has achieved the specified learning outcomes. In theoretical courses, the grades used are pass/fail or letter grades from A to F, with A being the highest grade and E the poorest pass grade. The grade F means that the student has failed the exam, meaning that the learning outcomes have not been achieved. The grades pass/fail are used for the assessment of practical training.

Most courses have required coursework that must be approved before the student can sit exam. See the course descriptions for more details.

Resit and rescheduled exams are carried out in the same manner as the ordinary exam unless otherwise specified in the course description.

For exams where a percentage of the exam papers are selected for assessment by an external examiner, the external examiner's assessment shall benefit all the students. In such cases, one external and one internal examiner will first grade the selected papers. The internal examiner then continues grading the remaining papers together with another internal examiner. The assessments from the first part are summarised to serve as guidelines for the assessments carried out by the two internal examiners. The course descriptions state which exams this arrangement applies to.

The grade awarded for a written exam can be appealed, cf. Section 5-3 of the Act relating to Universities and University Colleges and the Regulations relating to Studies and Examinations at OsloMet. It is not possible to appeal the grades awarded for oral and practical exams. In a group exam, the result of an appeal will only have consequences for the candidates who have submitted the appeal. This means that all members of the group do not have to participate in the appeal.

Assessment of supervised practical training The supervised practical training is assessed as passed or failed. Three elements must be passed in order for students to pass a period of practical training:

• Compulsory attendance
• Learning outcomes
• Suitability

To pass the supervised practical training, the student must have met the compulsory attendance requirement. A minimum attendance requirement of 90% applies to practical training courses. If the maximum limit for absence is exceeded, the student can make up for the practical training/teaching activities missed if practically possible. If it is not possible to compensate for the absence, the whole period of supervised practical training must be retaken. This will result in delayed progress in the programme.

External programme supervisor

The study programme has an external programme supervisor in accordance with the Guidelines for Appointment and Use of Examiners at OsloMet. The external programme supervisor is charged with evaluating the programme's structure and coherence, including the relationship between the learning outcomes as described in the programme description, the work and teaching methods and assessment arrangements. The external programme supervisor should normally supervise all the courses in the programme over the course of a three-year period and provide feedback and advice that the academic environment can use in its further work on the quality of education.

Flere av studiets emner har arbeidskrav i form av skriftlige oppgaver eller muntlige presentasjoner. I noen emner kan det være obligatorisk oppmøte. Arbeidskrav og obligatoriske aktiviteter må være godkjente for at man skal kunne få avlegge eksamen. Arbeidskrav og obligatoriske aktiviteter framgår av den enkelte emneplan.

Vurdering og sensur er i samsvar med bestemmelsene om vurdering i Lov om universiteter og høgskoler og i Forskrift om studier og eksamen ved OsloMet.

Det avholdes eksamen i hvert emne, og det benyttes ulike vurderingsformer. Det framgår av emneplanene hvilken vurderingsform, vurderingsuttrykk og sensorordning som benyttes for det enkelte emne.

Kalkulatorreglement

Der kalkulator er oppgitt som tillatt hjelpemiddel i emneplan, gjelder følgende regler for bruk av fysisk kalkulator:

• Kalkulatoren skal utgjøre en enkelt gjenstand og ha lommeformat.
• Kalkulatoren må ikke ha mulighet for kommunikasjon med andre dataenheter.
• Kalkulatoren tillates ikke koblet til strømnett.
• Kalkulatoren skal ikke avgi lyd.
• Kalkulatoren skal ikke kunne utføre symbolske beregninger, så som derivasjon av funksjonsuttrykk osv.

Det er studentens ansvar å påse at minnet er tømt før eksamen. Dette kan bli kontrollert på eksamen, og hvis minnet ikke er tømt blir dette å regne som fusk/forsøk på fusk. Se retningslinjer ved behandling av fusk/forsøk på fusk til eksamen ved OsloMet.

Det er ikke tilgjengelig noen oversikt over tillatte eller forbudte kalkulatormodeller. Spørsmål kan rettes til de aktuelle faglærerne.
