Course teacher sets final mark. Written exam counts 75% and laboratory exercise 25%. The sum of these marks gives the final mark for the subject. In order to achieve a passed mark neither the lab and nor the theory must fail.
To get a pass mark in general chemistry one should get a pass mark both in laboratory evaluation and in theoretical exams. Pass mark in the lab evaluation is given on the basis of the student's laboratory portfolio that includes the following: The laboratory part counts 25% of the final marks.
The grade on the laboratory exercises is base on map evaluation which includes: reporting gives 25% of lab grade, skills at the lab gives 25% of lab grade, and analysis of unknown sample gives 50% of lab. Each part of these evaluations has to be passed.
Evaluation of the reports gives 25% of lab grade. Undocumented absence in 2 or more lab exercises, lack of 2 or more reports, will give non passed mark, and the lab course has to be retaken.
The skills at the lab give 25% of lab grade. Non-passed here will give non passed mark, and the lab course has to be retaken.
Analyses of unknown sample (obligatory exercise) gives 50% of lab grade. Non-passed here will give non passed mark, and the lab course has to be retaken. Rules for doing the exercises and evaluation are given to the students in the start of the semester.
Vilkår for å gå opp til eksamen/vurdering
Compulsory course attendance that must be completed and approved before access to the laboratory: Electronic Course in Health, Safety and Environment.
Obligatory participation in all laboratory exercises: The laboratory exercises are a central part of this subject and are obligatory in order to achieve the goals for the course. The student has weekly 4 hours obligatory lab exercises for 9 weeks.

Åpent for
Because of limited laboratory capacity the course will, from autumn 2008, only be available for students admitted to a study program where the course is mandatory or as a recommended elective.
This according to § 3-7, point 5, within rules for Universities and University Colleges.
Students that do not have the course in their original study plan but wish to take this course have to apply to the Head of Department responsible for this course. Applications should be submitted following the guidelines for applications for admission to individual courses.
