Examination

INL1, Written assignment, 7 credits, written assignment concerning learning outcomes 1, 2 and 5, grades Fail (U), Pass (G) or Pass with distinction (VG).
FSR1, Field study report, 3 credits, field study concerning learning outcomes 3 and 5, grades Fail (U) or Pass (G).
FSR2, Field study report, 3 credits, field study concerning learning outcomes 4 and 5, grades Fail (U) or Pass (G).
OBN1, Compulsory attendance, 2 credits, compulsory attendance and active participation concerning learning outcomes 1-4, grades Fail (U) or Pass (G).

A student who has a certificate from MDU regarding a disability has the opportunity to submit a request for supportive measures during written examinations or other forms of examination, in accordance with the Rules and Regulations for Examinations at First-cycle and Second-cycle Level at Mälardalen University (2020/1655). It is the examiner who takes decisions on any supportive measures, based on what kind of certificate is issued, and in that case which measures are to be applied.

Suspicions of attempting to deceive in examinations (cheating) are reported to the Vice-Chancellor, in accordance with the Higher Education Ordinance, and are examined by the University’s Disciplinary Board. If the Disciplinary Board considers the student to be guilty of a disciplinary offence, the Board will take a decision on disciplinary action, which will be a warning or suspension.

Grade

Pass with distinction, Pass, Fail
