Content
The project development / assignment is implemented as a practical and real case-based assignment defined by the university college or an external organization / company.
The scope and objectives of the assignment are prepared by the student in collaboration with the client and the university supervisor. The project can in its entirety be carried out with external clients.
Project development usually undergoes these phases:
-Identification of opportunities and objectives
-Pre-design / testing
-Acceptance / funding / problem clarification
-Design
-Operational implementation
-Final reporting / evaluation
Forms of teaching and learning
Exercises and examinations consist of project development assignments for external / internal partners where participation outside the school is required.
The teaching is based on a high degree of student activity, and can alternate between lectures, group work and seminars from lecturer (s) and client (s).
The student (s) must work independently, solution-oriented and project-based.
The student (s) must work proactively and seek external guidance to ensure progress.
Coursework requirements - conditions for taking the exam
- Minimum 80% attendance and participation in internal and external assignments linked to the project
- Written work / submissions
Closer defined work requirements are determined in the subject's curriculum. Work requirements must be approved before the student can take the exam.
Examination
1. Project assignment in group: Project report and accompanying plans agreed with the client.
2. Oral group examination
Oral group consultation, 20 minutes presentation and 10 minutes questions from the examiner about the project process.
Grades are given after a total assessment with grade A-F where A is best grade and F is not passed. Individual grades can be given to individual students in the group. Complaints can only be promoted to the assessment of the written report and must be signed by the entire group.
Course evaluation
Ongoing evaluation of the teaching during the semester, where the method of evaluation is agreed between the teacher (s), the client (s) and the students.
Oral final evaluation of the course.
