Evaluation criteria for the course
Evaluation is made according to written final exam. When the student has adopted the core content well, it is possible to get grade 3. To reach grade 4 the student must also adopt complementary knowledge issues. The get grade 5 the student must also adopt specialist knowledge issues. If there is minor shortages is core content, the studen has possibility get grade 1 or 2. If there are major shortages is core content, the student will not pass the course.
Assessment scale:
Numerical evaluation scale (1-5) will be used on the course
