Eksamen i emnet er en hjemmeeksamen på 4 timer.

Alle hjelpemidler er tillatt, så lenge reglene for kildehenvisning følges.

Gradert skala A - F

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

Et uttrekk på 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. 

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

• Coursework 1: Present a text from the reading list in a plenary session of the course where the curricula will be discussed. 5-10 PowerPoint slides.
• Coursework 2: Hand in a term paper draft once during the gatherings. The length of this term paper is 5-10 pages.

The purpose of these work requirements is to ensure progress in both the readings of the curricula and the work with the term paper. All required coursework must be completed and approved by the given deadline in order for the student to take the exam. If one or more coursework requirements have not been approved, the student will be given the opportunity to submit an improved version one time by the given deadline. If the student does not meet the set deadline(s), the student loses the possibility to hand in the paper/hold the presentation, and thereby loses to right to sit for the exam. In case of illness or other valid reasons for absence, the teacher can set an individual deadline for the course requirements.

There are no mandatory activities in the course, with the exception of the above mentioned work requirements.

For the main assessment, the students may choose one of two individual term papers.

Either

• A reportage relevant to climate change, followed by a reflection paper that discusses and analyzes the textual material theoretically helped by the syllabus. Length: 12 - 15 pages. Font and font size: Arial or Calibri 12 points. Line spacing: 1.5.

Or

• An analytic, theory-based paper investigating a limited media output where global climate change is covered in a particular way. Length: 12-15 pages. Font and font size: Arial or Calibri 12 points. Line spacing: 1.5.

The term papers may be written in Norwegian or English.

All aids are permitted, as long as the rules for source referencing are complied with.

Grade scale A-F

All term papers will be assessed by an evaluation committee consisting of both an internal and an external examiner.
