Eksamensform

Eksamen består av to deleksamener.

Deleksamen 1: Individuell muntlig eksamen med praktisk(e) innslag. Omfanget er 40 minutter forberedelsestid og inntil 40 minutter eksaminering. Temaene gjøres kjent senest tre uker før eksamensdagen. Eksamen omfatter faglig teori, fagdidaktikk og praktisk arbeid knyttet til ett av temaene. Alle trykte og skrevne hjelpemidler kan brukes i forberedelsestiden. Fagseksjonens samlinger er tilgjengelig.

Deleksamen 2: Individuell FoU-oppgave med omfang på 7000 ord +/- 10% 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

Deleksamen 1: Ny/utsatt eksamen arrangeres på samme måte som ved ordinær eksamen.

Deleksamen 2: 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.

Se Vurdering/eksamen.

Det benyttes en gradert karakterskala fra A til E for bestått og F for ikke bestått eksamen. Deleksamenene vektes likt ved sammenslåing av karakter for emnet.

Deleksamen 1: Eksamen vurderes av intern og ekstern sensor.
