Examination

The modules are examined separately through written examinations, take-home examinations and/or written and group assignments, and through active participation in compulsory parts. The examination of the thesis course includes a compulsory thesis work and a compulsory critical oral review assignment. More information about the form and contents of the examination can be found in the course study guide.

Students failing an exam covering either the entire course or part of the course twice are entitled to have a new examiner appointed for the reexamination.

Students who have passed an examination may not retake it in order to improve their grades.

Grades

Other information

Planning and implementation of a course must take its starting point in the wording of the syllabus. The course evaluation included in each course must therefore take up the question how well the course agrees with the syllabus. 

The course is carried out in such a way that both men´s and women´s experience and knowledge is made visible and developed.
