Course history

Introduction

Emnet avsluttes med en individuell 4-timers skriftlig eksamen under tilsyn, samt vurdering av en rapport om arbeidet med programmeringsprosjektet etter nærmere kriterier (se under Arbeidskrav). Rapporten skal inneholde en fellestekst fra hver gruppe (2000-4000 ord), samt en individuell tekst (200-400 ord) fra hver student som redegjør for eget bidrag i prosjektarbeidet.

Endelig karakter fastsettes slik: individuell 4-timers skriftlig eksamen under tilsyn teller 60 %, rapport fra programmeringsoppgave teller 40 %. Begge elementer av eksamen må være bestått for at kandidaten skal få bestått karakter.

Ny/utsatt eksamen

Ny/utsatt eksamen gjennomføres på samme måte som ordinær eksamen. Dersom studenten får ikke bestått på den ene av disse to eksamensdelene, så er det kun den aktuelle delen som må tas opp igjen. Dersom studenten får ikke bestått på rapporten, kan rapport fra ordinær eksamen omarbeides.
