Learning methods and activities

In addition to physical teaching, lectures are streamed and recordings placed on the NTNU's digital learning platform.

Ways of teaching and teaching activities include, but are not limited to:

  • Interactive lectures
  • Digital exercises
  • Supervised exercises
  • Laboratory exercises
  • Project work / problem based learning in groups (semester assignment)

Mandatory work requirements:

Access to final examination is granted when the candidate has delivered and had approved:

  • A specified number of digital Quiz‘es (individually)
  • A specified number of blogs (individually)
  • A membership in a semester assignment group (individual registration)
  • An collaboration agreement for semester assignment group (group submission)
  • An A3 presentation of semester assignment (group submission)
  • A video (10 min, specified format) summarizing the results of the semester assignment. All group members must present. (group submission)

The mandatory work requirements must be delivered on the digital learning platform used at NTNU.

Compulsory assignments

  • Video - term paper result
  • Group registration semester assignment
  • Agreement of cooperation semester assignment
  • A3 Presentation of semester assignment
  • Digital quiz
  • Blogg

Further on evaluation

Compulsory activity from the previous semester can be approved by the department by repeating the course if there have been no significant changes in the program later.

The assessment (A-F) in this course is based on:

  • a written "school exam" Inspera which counts for 60% of the total grade
  • and a group assignment submitted in Inspera which counts for 40% of the total grade.
  • Students must pass both the "school exam" and the group assignment.

Allowed exam aids: All printed and hand-written support material is allowed. All calculators are allowed.

Re-sit exam in August. In the event of a postponed examination (re-sit examination), the written examination may be changed to an oral exam.

Continuation and voluntary repetition / improvement can be carried out for some sub-evaluations without having to reassess both sub-evaluations in a topic (on the condition that the subject has not changed the assessment system). There is an opportunity to complain about partial assessments in this topic before all sub-evaluations have been completed.
