Grading criteria/assessment criteria

To get an overall passing grade the student needs to pass each of the modules with a grade of no less than the maximum number of points for the quiz minus one. For example, the module "Ethical Research" has 4 points, hence a student must get a grade of at least 3 points on this module, this is considered a passing grade for the module. A student can repeat each quiz an unlimited number of times to reach a passing grade for the module. Each student must achieve a passing grade in all 4 modules to get a final passing grade for the course.

Opportunity to raise an approved grade via renewed examination

Note that there is no opportunity to raise your grade, once you have a grade of  “P” or higher (as the course is grade P/F). 

Reporting of exam results

The final grade will be reported via LADOK.

Ethical approach

  • All members of a group are responsible for the group's work.
  • In any assessment, every student shall honestly disclose any help received and sources used.
  • In an oral assessment, every student shall be able to present and answer questions about the entire assignment and solution.
