Examinations and other compulsory assignments
Semester assignments
If the course includes assignments during the semester, they should be submitted digitally via ‘Digital Eksamen’. It is the lecturer’s responsibility to initiate this. The procedure is as follows.
- The lecturer sends an overview of exam deadlines to the exam coordinator who creates and opens the exam portal for students.
- The lecturer provides the exam coordinator with potential topics/questions. The exam coordinator posts these on ‘Digital Eksamen’.
- After the deadline, the lecturer downloads the assignments directly from ‘Digital Eksamen.
- The lecturer has to register the results on ‘Digital Eksamen’. The grades must be available within 4 weeks of the assignment’s hand-in deadline.
