needs
Forms for knowledge control
The knowledge, skills and competences are assessed, based on the following:
Course Learning Objectives 1–18:
Submit an assignment and/or end of course test in the form of a technical report, in writing and/or
verbal. (IG / G / VG)
For specific needs, the assignment or test can be adapted.
After the ordinary attempt, the student is entitled to two re-tests or supplements. The first occasion
within four weeks and the second occasion according to the organizer's instructions. In case of
student absence from knowledge test, the student must, in due time, inform the organizer or the
trainer by mail. If the student ignores to announce his/her absence this opportunity is considered
forfeited and will not be replaced.
The grade is based on a weighting of all assessment data.
Principles of grading
Grades are in the form of Unapproved (IG), Passed (G) or Pass with distinction (VG).
Non-approved (IG)
The student has completed the course but did not reach all the goals for the course.
Passed (G)
The student has achieved all the goals for the course.
Pass with distinction (VG)
The student has achieved all the goals for the course. In addition, the student can perform
advanced calculations in electrical energy storage system.
