The form of assessment consists two parts: 50% written exam and 50% project assignments (consists of two parts: 30% group work on technical plans and 20% group work on dimensioning. Overall grade on project assignments is calculated by the course teacher).

No continuation option will be offered for project assignments, and students who do not pass and/or wish to improve their grade on project assignments must take this assessment section again the next time it is offered as an ordinary assessment.

The written exam will be on paper at campus.

All assessment parts must be passed to get an overall grade in the course.

The project assignments will be within the course period. The dates will be decided by the responsible teachers during the study period.

The project assignment aids are the textbook, teaching materials, and a standard calculator.

Emneevaluering

The faculty decides whether early dialogue will be held in all courses or in selected groups of courses. The aim is to collect student feedback for improvements during the semester. In addition, a digital course evaluation must be conducted at least every three years to gather students’ experiences.
