Learning outcome
Knowledge:
Students shall have wide knowledge of what a risk analysis is, the steps in the process of performing a risk analysis and common methods used.
Skills:
Students shall be able to perform risk analysis of various types of problems and interpret and present the results from the analysis as input to a decision process.
General competence:
Students shall have an understanding of issues related to use of risk acceptance criteria and how risk analysis can be used and misused.
Learning methods and activities
Lectures, project work and exercises. A mandatory project shall be carried out as group work, and will count 40% in the evaluation.
Compulsory assignments
- Project work
Further on evaluation
Aggregated assessment is the basis for the grade in the course. The aggregated assessments includes a Group exercise work counting 40 % and a written exam counting 60 %.
Assessment of the parts is stated with letter grades according to the grade scale for the percentage assessment method.
Mandatory work (Project work) from previous semester can be accepted by the Department by re-take of an examination if there haven't been any significant changes later.
At postponed exam (re-sit exam), the examination form may be changed from written examination to oral. The re-sit exam is arranged in August.
