Course history

Introduction

The final assessment/examination is a portfolio assessment, which counts for 100% of the grade.

The portfolio will consist of a set of assignments offered in the course. The portfolio is assessed as a whole and given a single grade, but all assignments must be passed in order for the portfolio to receive a grade E or higher.

Norwegian or English should be used for the assignments.

For assignments that require working in groups, each group may consist of 2-5 candidates.

A student who fails the ordinary examination, may nevertheless submit a reworked version as a resit.
