Principal Content : -

Required prequisites : -
Recommended prerequisites : -
Relations : KRA3
Type of examination : Look under remarks
External examiner : Internal
Marking : 7 step scale
Remarks : The students must carry out a small number of CASE-projects. The project reports must be approved to enter for the examination.
In the beginning of the semester the students form their own project groups. The group size should be 3-5 students. Under special circumstances, the teacher may allow smaller group sizes. The teacher/supervisor follows the group and is in charge as examiner. If more teachers are involved in the course, the groups are divided among the teachers, by the teachers.

Students that have not formed a group, before a deadline set by the teacher, are considered to be inactive in the groupwork and may be refused to enter for the examination.

If a group member several times fails to fulfil agreements made by the group, the group may recommend exclusion. If a student doesn"t contributes to the project-work, the teacher may refuse to enter the student for the examination.

Examination: Each student is allocated 20 minutes (all in all). The examination is individual.
Each student is allocated 7 minutes for presentation. The group is required to coordinate the presentations in such a way that the major aspects of the projects are covered, that the presentations are different and that each individual presentation has a good technical span.

The supervisor and the external examiner pose questions to curriculum inspired by the reports and the presentation. The evaluation is based on a general impression of the level achieved by the student relative to the objective of the course.

After the examination students, who wish so, may request (by email) a consultation after the exam, where the exam and the project report can be discussed with the supervisor. At this consultation, students that have not passed the exam, will be guided on how to work purposeful towards passing a new exam. The consultation will normally take place in the beginning of the following semester.
