Det benyttes intern og ekstern sensor til sensurering av besvarelsene. Et uttrekk på minst 25 % av besvarelsene sensureres av to sensorer. Karakterene på disse samsensurerte besvarelsene skal danne grunnlag for å fastsette nivå på resten av besvarelsene.

Written assignments based on the reading list or workshops given during the course.There are seven assignments, out of which four must be approved in order to qualify for the exam. All assignments are connected to workshops where students will work in groups with support from experienced journalists, accountants and digital safety experts to learn skills and acquire knowledge necessary to do cross border investigative journalism. All assignments must be written in English. The assignments will be discussed in groups with other students and a teacher. The student will then have the opportunity to improve the assignments before the final handing in.

The details of the assignments will be given in the beginning of the semester. The length of each assignment is 3 - 5 pages. If an assignment is not approved, the student may hand in a new, improved version within a set deadline. In the case of illness or other valid reasons for absence, an individual deadline can be set by the teacher. If the student does not meet the set deadline for at least four of the assignments, the student loses the possibility to hand in the assignment, and thereby loses to right to sit for the exam.

The exam is a 4 days written individual home examination of 8 -10 pages. The paper may be written in either English or Norwegian (or another Scandinavian language). Font and font size: Arial/Calibri 12 points. Line spacing: 1.5.
