Remarks : At the examination each student is allocated 15 minutes. The examination is a group examination but the marking is individual. The evaluation is based on a general impression of the level achieved by the student relative to the objective of the course. The evaluation is based on the report, the oral performance and the functionality of the assignment. The group presents the assignment by giving well-prepared presentations The duration of the presentation is approx. 10 minutes per student. The group is required to coordinate the presentations in such a way that the major aspects of the assignment are covered, that the presentations are different and that each individual presentation has a good technical span. After the presentation the supervisor and the external examiner pose questions inspired by the presentations and the report. The questions are a priori individual but may - if found relevant by the supervisor or the external examiner - form the basis of a broader group discussion. During the evaluation by the supervisor and the external examiner, the project group leaves the room. Afterwards the group is summoned and the individual marks are explained. If the student does not pass the examination, the student is given guidance on how to improve the chances of passing.
