SMUA4100 Transport Policy and Transport Management Emneplan

The student's learning outcome will be assessed on the basis of an individual six-hour written school exam.

Students who have failed a regular examination are entitled to sit a new examination.

None.

Students may use a spelling dictionary, as well as a bilingual dictionary during the written school exam.

The written exam will be assessed by an internal and an external examiner. The external examiner grades a random sample consisting of at least 25 per cent of the written exams. The grades given for this sample provide a basis for the internal examiner's assessment. The external examiner will also grade papers where there is doubt about giving a grade of pass.
