Examination
This exam consists of two parts:
Part 1: Individual written report submission. Counts as 70% of the final grade.
Part 2: Individual written exam. Duration: 3 Hour. Counts as 30% of the final grade
All written aids and calculator are permitted.
Both partial exams must be passed to get a final grade in the subject.
Grades from A to F, where A is the best grade, E is the lowest passed grade, and F is failed.
Examiners
One internal and one external examiner.
Conditions for resit/rescheduled exams
If a report is graded as failed, the student will be given one more chance to improve the report.
If the student fails the written exam, they can re-take this exam maximum two more times. A resit will be arranged in January the following semester. The students do not need to redo the written report in order to re-take the written exam.
Course evaluation
The course will be evaluated by a standardized electronic form.
