All

Re-exam:
Based on the submitted project, the examiner gives the student guidance on necessary improvements in relation to being able to pass the exam (possibly that a new project should be prepared).
The students are informed about specific deadlines and detailed progress for the project work. Project groups are formed if possible.
No guidance is provided in the period leading up to submission.
The project is assessed by an oral re-exam based on the updated/new project.

Grading criteria
