More info about the coursework requirements

There are 6 mandatory exercises. These exercises can be submitted in either English or Norwegian.  

Exercises submitted after the submission deadline will not be graded.

At least 4 out of the 6 exercises must be passed to qualify for a grade in the course.


More info about the portfolio

Portfolio assessment with the following three components (assessment basis):

  • Two programming works (can be submitted in either English or Norwegian)
  • One e-test for selected parts of the syllabus

The grade will be based on all three components in the portfolio. The weights of the components will be presented in the introductory presentation.


Re-sit examination

If any programming works is missing, the candidate will not qualify for a re-sit examination and must take the course again at the next ordinary period.

The re-sit examination consists of taking a new e-test that replaces the original e-test.
