Exam content: The learning outcomes

Exam form: Three-day home exam in groups of up to 3 students. 3,000 words (+/- 10%)

Examiners: All papers are assessed by two internal examiners. The external examiner contributes to the preparation of the exam questions and assessment criteria.

Assessment: Grade scale A-F

The following coursework requirements must have been approved in order for the student to take the exam:

• Coursework 1: Financial understanding and vocabulary. The students must take part in workshops about the topic. The students must hand-in a pitch deck of 15-20 slides for their case company and give a 10 minute presentation. The case must be viable to complete the remaining coursework.
• Coursework 2: Financial Modeling and Analysis. The students must take part in workshops about the topic. The students must hand-in a spreadsheet with their financial model and present their financing needs in a 5 minute presentation.
• Coursework 3: Termsheets, Documentation and Compliance. The students must take part in workshops about the topic. The students must hand-in a draft termsheet and a self-reflection paper on the termsheet as well as required documentation and compliance relevant for a dataroom for their case.
• Coursework 4: Investor Communication and Self-Awareness. The students must take part in workshops about the topic. The students must prepare a revised pitch deck and 10 minute presentation, and a self-reflection paper on their strengths and weaknesses.

The purpose of the coursework is to produce the necessary financial models and documentation for an investor pitch, with an understanding of what is needed for a data room sufficient to conduct a Due Dilligence.

All required coursework must be completed and approved by the given deadline for the student to take the exam. If one or more coursework requirements have not been approved, the student will be given one opportunity to submit an improved version by the given deadline.

The students can hand in their proposal in Norwegian or English.

The exam in the course consists of two parts:

• Term paper

The term paper is a pitch deck presentation of 15-20 slides that communicate an entrepreneurial project to potential external investors. The term paper is written in groups of 2-5 students. This deck should include: problem, solution, value propositions, trends, market size, business model, value chain, traction, sustainability, financial planning, IP documentation and team and operation evaluation.

• Portfolio

The portfolio is written individually or in groups of 2-5 students. The students should demonstrate that they are able to document their pitched claims through financial models and statements, relevant documentation, contracts, and property rights. Where these do not yet exist, they need to demonstrate the ability to reflect on the need for these documents through a self-reflection paper.

Both exams must be passed in order to pass the course.

If a student has to resit the exam, the student can retake each part separately. It is not necessary to take both parts.

Students awarded a fail grade are given one opportunity to submit an improved version of the term paper and portfolio for assessment.

Grading scale A to F.

The exam papers are assessed by one internal and one external examiner.

At least 25 per cent of the exam paper is assessed by two examiners. The grades awarded for the papers assessed by two examiners form the basis for determining the level for all the exam papers.
