Gradert skala A-F.

Det benyttes en intern og en ekstern sensor til sensurering av besvarelsene.

Et uttrekk på minst 25 % av besvarelsene sensureres av ekstern sensor. Karakterene på de besvarelsene som er vurdert av ekstern sensor danner grunnlag for å fastsette nivå på besvarelsene innenfor de ulike karakteruttrykkene. Intern sensor skal ta hensyn til ekstern sensors vurdering ved sensurering av alle eksamensoppgaver.

A list of reference aids allowed will be published on our website.

Letter grading A-F.

In addition to the instructor, an external examiner will grade the exam.

A selection of at least 25% of the exam papers will be assessed by two examiners. The grades awarded to exam papers assessed by the external and internal examiner will be used to determine the level of all exam papers.
