| Make-up exam/re-exam |
Same examination form as the ordinary exam
Re-examination:
If the student has participated in the written group project for
the ordinary exam, but has been ill at the time of the oral exam,
the re-examination is conducted on the basis of the group project
that has already been handed in.
If the student has participated in the written group project for
the ordinary exam, but not passed the oral exam, the re-exam is
normally conducted on the basis of the project that has already
been handed in. However, the student may choose to hand in a new,
individual project within a specified time.
NB! The student must clearly state at the frontpage of the project,
if the project has been REVISED, or if the student has chosen to
hand in a NEW PROJECT.
If the student has not participated in the written group project
due to illness, the student may participate in the oral
re-examination, if the student hands in an individual project
within a specified time.
The student cannot claim supervision hours in connection with the
retake/ reexam.

Description of the exam
procedure
The final element in the study programme is the writing of a
project combining various elements from the programme. It comprises
selection of a theme for the project (often a selected problem in a
company), designing a data collection (i.e. through some
interviews), writing up the analysis in clear language and drawing
the conclusions of the analysis. The project work may be done of up
to three students together.
(Note that: students with a degree as ’serviceøkonom’ cannot make
their bachelor project in the same company as used for their
project in the serviceøkonom programme – except with special
permission).
The student must be able to demonstrate knowledge of the academic
areas as well as useful theories and methods learned throughout the
programme which are relevant for the project. Moreover, the student
must demonstrate the ability to structure clearly the bachelor
project, both contextually and linguistically. Finally, the
student’s linguistic abilities may be included in the evaluation of
the project.
All the projects should include a table of contents and a summary,
which are part of the final evaluation. The assessment is based on
a combined evaluation of the written work and the individual’s
performance at the oral
defence.

Introduction and Project advising
The Third Year Project group itself is responsible for contacting
the assigned Project Adviser, producing a good report, and for
using the Project Adviser as constructively as possible. The
Adviser is available in order to help the group with its research
issue (including the initial formulation) as well as the
development of an appropriate research methodology. The Adviser,
furthermore, functions as primary examiner at the oral
defence. |
