Course requirements: Compulsory production work. The number of production works that must be submitted will be specified by the course supervisor at the start of the course.

In order to take the final exam of the course, the student must have documented attendance of 80 %. Absence of up to 20 % covers non-attendance due to illness or other, documentable causes. Absence exceeding the 20 % limit is not accepted, even if it's caused by circumstances the student are not responsible for. In special cases, like serious or long-term illness, the student can receive adapted teaching by application to the department.

It is the responsibility of the student to keep updated on messages from the department or the teacher on Blackboard. The course is taught in Norwegian only.

Compulsory assignments

  • Practices
  • 80 % attendance in compulsory instructions

Further on evaluation

The final assessment consists of an individual written part and practical production part. A final grade is given for the two parts.

The written assignment counts as 1/2 of the final grade. The production work counts as 1/2 of the final grade. All components of the assessment must be passed. If a student fails one component of the exam, this component must be retaken to complete the course. The assessment of the component that was passed will remain until both components of the exam are passed. After this the final grade will be calculated. If the practical component of the exam is to be retaken, the scheduling of this will be contingent upon the resources of the Department.
