Further on evaluation
Portfolio assessment is the basis for the grade in the course. The portfolio includes a final written exam (50%) and assignments (50%). The results for the parts are given in %-scores, while the entire portfolio is assigned a letter grade. If there is a re-sit examination, the examination form may change from written to oral. In the case that the student receives an F/Fail as a final grade after both ordinary and re-sit exam, then the student must retake the course in its entirety. Submitted work that counts towards the final grade will also have to be retaken.
Recommended previous knowledge
