6. Assessment and grading

Modes of examinations of the course

Code	Module	Credit	Grade
2610	On-Campus Examination[1]	2 credits	AF
2620	Laboratory Session	2 credits	GU
2630	Project	2 credits	GU

[1] Determines the final grade for the course, which will only be issued when all components have been approved.

The course will be graded A Excellent, B Very good, C Good, D Satisfactory, E Sufficient, FX Failed result, a little more work required, F Fail.

The examiner may carry out oral follow-up of written examinations.

The information before the start of the course states the assessment criteria and make explicit in which modes of examination that the learning outcomes are assessed.

An examiner can, after consulting the Disability Advisor at BTH, decide on a customized examination form for a student with a long-term disability to be provided with an examination equivalent to one given to a student who is not disabled.

7. Course evaluation

The course evaluation should be carried out in line with BTH:s course evaluation template and process.

8. Restrictions regarding degree

The course can form part of a degree but not together with another course the content of which completely or partly corresponds with the contents of this course.
