Exam

Writtten exam and a project assignments

Form of assessment Weight Duration Marks Aid
Writtten exam 5/10 4 Hours Letter grades All
Project assignment 1 3/10 Letter grades
Project assignment 2 2/10 Letter grades

The form of assessment consists two parts: 50% written exam and 50% project assignments (consists of two parts: 30% group work on technical plans and 20% group work on dimensioning. Overall grade on project assignments is calculated by the course teacher).No continuation option will be offered for project assignments, and students who do not pass and/or wish to improve their grade on project assignments must take this assessment section again the next time it is offered as an ordinary assessment.The written exam will be on paper at campus.All assessment parts must be passed to get an overall grade in the course.

Coursework requirements

laboratory report

Compulsory course attendance that must be completed and approved before access to the laboratory: Electronic Course in Health, Safety and Environment

The compulsory laboratory report is assessed as approved/not approved, and must be approved to get access to project assignments and the written exam.

Course assessment

There must be an early dialogue between the course supervisor, the student union representative and the students. The purpose is feedback from the students for changes and adjustments in the course for the current semester.In addition, a digital subject evaluation must be carried out at least every three years. Its purpose is to gather the students experiences with the course.
