✔

Conditions

To pass this course, the student must achieve at least 8.0/20 on both parts of the evaluation (the evalution during the teaching period and the exam).

Consequences

If the student achieves less than 8.0/20 on one of the two parts of the evaluation (the evalution during the teaching period or the exam), the final mark will be the weighted average of both parts with a maximum of 8/20.

Second examination period

Evaluation second examination opportunity different from first examination opprt

Explanation (English)

The second chance exams are planned and discussed with the client and the coordinating responsible. The oral exam is planned in the exam period.

Remarks

Course material is partly provided in the form of presentations and literature provided by guest lecturers.

Course material is also generated by collaboration between students within this course under guidance and with feedback from lecturers.
