About the assessment
Assessment: Portfolio assessment. The portfolio will consist of two written assignments (approx. 3000-3500 words in total), and a multiple choice test. The submissions will receive an overall grade. All three submissions will have to receive a pass grade for the whole of the portfolio to receive a pass grade.
In case of a resit examination (whether due to a fail or a valid no-show), all the elements of the portfolio have to be re-submitted, and feedback will not be given.
In semesters where ENG2123 is not taught, NTNU will not be offering a resit examination.
The exam must be answered in English.
Recommended previous knowledge
Courses at ENG1000-level, completed one-year programme in English or equivalent approved education.
