Assessment

Here is an overview of what you need to consider as a course coordinator when conducting assessments in a course.

A. Prepare for the exam

You can find the assessment method in the course description.
The Examination Office plans the date and time for on-site exams and take-home exams and publishes them on Fagpersonweb.
The submission date for assignments, portfolios and projects must be reported to the Examination Office.
For on-site exams: Report the need for third-party software and Lovdata to the Examination Office as early as possible.
Mandatory activities must be approved in Fagpersonweb no later than 10 working days before the exam date.
The appointment of examiners and appeal examiners takes place at the department; please inquire with the academic administration at your department about the process.
Remember to inform the students thoroughly about the examination procedure and source citing. Also, refer them to the examination information for students.
Tip: Do not post your own information about the examination time and location in Canvas. Refer the students to the information at Studentweb.

The deadline to prepare the exam task and grading guidelines in Inspera is no later than 7 working days before the exam date.
For exams in Inspera, remember to clarify with your contact person at the Examination Office what settings the exam should have.
Examination tasks in subjects other than Norwegian, given in the Norwegian language, should, as a general rule, be available in both varieties of written Norwegian (bokmål and nynorsk). Exceptions to this are described in § 3 i Forskrift om målform i eksamensoppgåver.

The room assigned for written school exams will be available at the latest three days before the exam. You can find information about which rooms students are assigned to in Fagpersonweb.
As a subject teacher, you are not obligated to be present in the examination venues for on-site exams, but you or a substitute must be available on Teams/phone throughout the entire examination.
If errors are discovered in the exam paper after the exam has started, the subject teacher and the Examination Office will jointly find a solution to this.

The standard grading deadline is 3 weeks. For master's theses, the grading deadline is 6 weeks.
If public holidays fall within the grading period, the deadline may be extended by the corresponding number of days.
Please notify the Examination Office if illness of an examiner (internal or external) will result in delayed grading, so that students can be informed.
More information about submitting grades, plagiarism checks, grading, explanations, and re-evaluation can be found on the grading and assessment information page.
Examiners will have access to grading guidelines in Inspera.
Make the grading guidelines available to students in Canvas. It is not possible to make the grading guidelines available to the students in Inspera.

Re-sit examinations generally have the same assessment format as regular exams.
Whether a re-sit examination should be held is regulated by § 26-1 in Forskrift om studier og eksamen ved Universitetet i Agder.
Please note that candidates do not have the right to a new or re-sit portfolio exam. It should be stated in the course description if, or how, a re-sit examination is conducted for portfolio exams.
Re-sit examinations are usually held in week 40-41 for the autumn semester and week 8-9 for the spring semester.
Students with questions about re-sit examinations can be referred to the information on the website here. The registration deadline for re-sit examinations is the same as for regular exams, September 1st and February 1st. The withdrawal deadline is 14 days before the exam.
