Examination details

Grading scale: TH - (U,3,4,5) - (Fail, Three, Four, Five)
Assessment: Written tests on all subcourses. The first subcourse is graded as Passed or Not passed. The subcourses Calculus 1 and 2 are graded on a scale from 3.0 (passed) to 6.0 in steps of 0.1. The final grade is the integer part of the mean of these two grades (at most 5). The first part of the course, Algebra, finishes with a short online examination i study week 5 of the first study period. The second part, Calculus 1, begins in study week 6. There is a re-sit of the oneline examination during the ordinary exam period in October.

The examiner, in consultation with Disability Support Services, may deviate from the regular form of examination in order to provide a permanently disabled student with a form of examination equivalent to that of a student without a disability.
