Examination and grades

The course is graded A, B, C, D, E, FX or F.

The grades A, B, C, D and E are all passing grades. For courses with more than one element of examination, students are given a final grade based on an overall assessment of all the elements included in the course.


The examination is based on the intended learning outcomes.

The course is examined by two forms of assignments. One individual written assignment describing the planning, implementation, assessment and evaluation of a digitalization process. This assignment is graded with A-F. A seminar presentation including defending of the own work and review of two other students’ work. This assignment is graded with pass or fail.

The examination must allow for students to be assessed on an individual basis. Further information concerning assessment of specific intended learning outcomes and grading criteria is provided at the beginning of the course.

The student must pass each examination in order to pass the course. The final grade will be dependent on the grade of the individual written assignment.

Other information

Students are guaranteed a minimum of three attempts to pass an examination, including the regular attempt.

If a student has failed the same examination three times, the student can request that the next attempt be graded by a new examiner. The decision to accept or reject such a request is made by the associate dean of education. A student may not make a second attempt at any examination already passed in order to receive a higher grade.
