Exam
| Form of assessment | Weight | Duration | Marks | Aid |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Home exam | 1/1 | 7 Days | Letter grades |
Digital exam
- A project-based home exam that requires students to complete a project related to a practical task over the course of one week.
- The exam will be done on the UiS Inspera platform.
- Grading: The exam will be graded (A-F)
- Duration: one week
Vilkår for å gå opp til eksamen/vurdering
- There will be one individual use-case-based assignment in which students will be required to complete a practical task that involves applying the knowledge and skills they have learned in the course to a real-world scenario.
- The assignment is mandatory - approved / not approved.
- Submissions should provide coding solutions to the respective problem with proper documentation.

Åpent for
Emneevaluering
There must be an early dialogue between the course supervisor, the student union representative and the students. The purpose is feedback from the students for changes and adjustments in the course for the current semester.In addition, a digital course evaluation must be carried out at least every three years. Its purpose is to gather the students experiences with the course.
