The exam will consist of four questions. Each answer is graded out of 10. For the grade Pass (G), you must receive at least 20/40 for the answers to the exam; and for the grade Pass with Distinction (VG) at least 30/40 is required.

You will have 4 hours to answer the questions.

There is a word limit of 1200 words for the whole assignment.

The exam will be administered through the DISA system: you will need to write the exam in an examination hall, but you will write the exam on your own computer. This requires downloading an app so you can write the exam. For more information, see here: DISA info

There will be further discussion of the question format in the course. Answers to common questions can be found here: Sit-in Exam FAQ
