Teaching and working methods

The teaching takes the form of lectures, exercises, supervision, laboratory sessions, seminars and field trips. Participation in exercises, seminars, field trips and laboratory sessions are compulsory. The examiner may grant exemption from compulsory parts if there are special reasons. The students should actively and on their own responsibility profit by the contents of the reading list, complete all practical assignments and participate actively in seminars and field trips. On the basis of individual supervision, the student should accomplish an independently written work (essay). The student should defend the work and critically review another student's work at an essay seminar.

Examination

The course is examined continuously through the following examination forms: written examination, individual take-home examination and essay seminar, as well as active participation in compulsory parts and carrying out assignments related to them.

If special circumstances prevail, and if it is possible with consideration of the nature of the compulsory component, the examiner may decide to replace the compulsory component with another equivalent component.

If the LiU coordinator for students with disabilities has granted a student the right to an adapted examination for a written examination in an examination hall, the student has the right to it.

If the coordinator has recommended for the student an adapted examination or alternative form of examination, the examiner may grant this if the examiner assesses that it is possible, based on consideration of the course objectives.

An examiner may also decide that an adapted examination or alternative form of examination if the examiner assessed that special circumstances prevail, and the examiner assesses that it is possible while maintaining the objectives of the course.

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

Three-grade scale, U, G, VG

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 conducted in such a way that there are equal opportunities with regard to sex, transgender identity or expression, ethnicity, religion or other belief, disability, sexual orientation and age.

If special circumstances prevail, the vice-chancellor may in a special decision specify the preconditions for temporary deviations from this course syllabus, and delegate the right to take such decisions.
