VBINF6100 Fundamentals of metadata Course description

There is a requirement of at least 80% attendance in all first year courses. The programme emphasises student participation, dialogue, and cooperative learning, which depends upon attendance and active participation in class. The composition of the student group, with both international students and students from Norway, as well as various academic and professional backgrounds, is an excellent resource for our international and intercultural learning, which are core values in the programme. The rich and important opportunities that this offers is lost if students do not attend classes.

The coursework requirements are described in the individual course descriptions. All absence, irrespective of reason, is included when compulsory attendance is approved. In special cases where this requirement is unreasonable in relation to the student, documented sickness absence, for example, can be assessed and, if applicable, compensatory measures can be agreed. Absence in excess of the limit may be made up for by a written assignment by agreement with the person responsible for the course.

The required coursework must be submitted/completed by the stipulated deadlines. Absence for a valid reason (documented for example with a medical certificate) does not exempt students from meeting the coursework requirements. Students who fail to submit/meet the coursework requirements by the deadline, and have approved grounds for this failure, can be given an extended deadline. A new deadline for submitting/completing required coursework must be agreed with the lecturer in question in each individual case.

The required coursework is assessed as approved/not approved. Students who submit required coursework/meet the coursework requirements by the deadline, but whose work is assessed as not approved, will be given up to two opportunities to resubmit/redo the work. In such cases, the students themselves must agree with the lecturer on a re-assessment of the coursework in question.

In the third semester, students take four weeks of practical training at their own workplace. OsloMet is responsible for organising a placement for students who do not have a workplace, as well as for follow-up of the practical training scheme and approval of practical training establishments, which must be done before the students can begin their practical training.

Reference is made to the Regulations relating to Studies and Examinations at OsloMet - Oslo Metropolitan University, and in particular Chapter 5. Practice.

Pursuant to the Regulations relating to studies and examinations at OsloMet – Oslo Metropolitan University, compulsory requirements may be stipulated that must be met before students can take an exam. Any coursework requirements set (including compulsory attendance) are included in the course descriptions. Required coursework must be approved before the student can take the exam. If required coursework has not been submitted or has not been approved, the student will lose the right to take the exam in the course in question.

Suitability assessment

The Master programme in Child Welfare Work is covered by the Regulations on suitability assessment in higher education adopted by the Ministry of Education and Research.

A suitability assessment is a comprehensive assessment of the student’s academic and personal qualifications for work as a health care or social worker. More information about the suitability assessment can be found on the intranet for OsloMet students.
