Teaching and learning methods

Lectures, rehersals and practical studio work. Groupwise exam project. Attendance requirements in the practical segment of the course.

The work load for the average student is approximately 270 hours.

Examination requirements

Approved compulsory attendance. Students must pass the compulsory assignments in order to take the examination. Information on assignments will be given in the LMS in the start of the course.

Examinations

3-hour written examination in the autumn semester counts 50% of the final grade. Project work done in groups in the spring semester counts 50% of the final grade. The groups are normally given joint grades on the group project, but in cases of documented differences in the contribution to the project from the group members, students may be graded individually. Graded assessment.

Student evaluation

The study programme manager, in consultation with the student representative, decides the method of evaluation and whether the courses will have a midterm- or end of term evaluation, see also the Quality System, section 4.1. Information about evaluation method for the course will be posted on Canvas.
