Description of the exam
procedure
The student must give an oral
presentation of 4-5 minutes. The presentation can be supplemented
by visual aids. The student chooses the subject and the situation
for the presentation – however one can not choose the same subject
that one has worked with for the individual project and neither a
subject that has been given as a common subject during the course.
Preceding the examination the student will hand in a written
situational analysis (the synopsis) of the communication situation
using relevant theoretical terms to describe the situation and the
most important communication problems it presents. The situation
must be realistic.
Following the presentation the student must engage the examiner in
a dialogue regarding the communicative choices made while preparing
the presentation. During this the examiner may inquire about the
situational analysis and the curriculum for the course, if
doubt about the student’s mastery of the subject matter should
arise.
