Examination details

Grading scale: TH - (U,3,4,5) - (Fail, Three, Four, Five)
Assessment: The examination consists of a written exam, laboratory work and a written and oral report which concludes a deep study project. The written exam can give grade 3 or 4, which also is the course grade. If a student performs over average on both the regular written exam and the deep study project, the student can after an extra oral exam be granted grade 5 on the course. Re-examination can be given in the form of a home exam or equivalent.

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.
