There are different types of examinations

The examination forms are regulated in the syllabus for each course

The collection of tests for the course shows what parts constitute the examination for that course

Ladok via the Internet (LPW) – this is where you find the collection of tests as well as your results

Written examinations

For written exams, the LAST day to sign up is the Tuesday in the week before the week the exam takes place !

Late sign up is NOT possible in any way!

You must present a valid ID card at the written exam in order to be allowed to take the exam

A student should be offered at least five opportunities to take an exam, after that the course may change

The grading scale for each test is either

Fail/Pass (U/G) or Fail/Pass/Pass with

Distinction and soon an A-F scale

If you miss the exam

Sign up for the re-exam

Complement one of the assignments

If you wait too long to get an assignment assessed, the course may have changed and you might have to retake the entire course

CSN also has demands that you must perform if you collect student financing

There are entry requirements for courses and semesters within the programme

Usually there are dates in August to retake exams

Plan your studies – look at the Examination Schedule

Riktlinjer för examensarbete

Rättsäker examination

• På Linnéuniversitetet finns ” lokala regler för examinationer på grundnivå och avancerad nivå ” beslutat av Rektor.

Regelsystem som beskriver ansvar och rättigheter för dig som student och examinator vid examination – läs igenom detta dokument!

• Notera vad som gäller för omexamination, komplettering, tenta på annan ort, meddelande om betyg och provresultat, omprövning av betyg mm.

Betygssättning vid Ekonomihögskolan:

Målrelaterad betygssättning innebär att:

• Prestationen bedöms i förhållande till målen

• Förutbestämda transparanta betygskriterier

• Hela gruppen kan i princip få ett visst betyg

Relativ betygssättning innebär att:

• Prestationen bedöms/rangordnas i förhållande till andras prestationer

(i gruppen)

• Endast några kan få högsta betyg respektive lägsta

• Enligt en förutbestämd fördelning (t ex normalfördeln.)

Studying with disability

We are here to help you!

Dan Fogby – coordinator for the

School of Business and

Economics in Kalmar

Dan.fogby@lnu.se

Anna Nymark – coordinator for the

School of Business and

Economics in Växjö

Anna.nymark@lnu.se

All disabilities are individual and affect the opportunity to study in different ways. That is why all pedagogical assistance is individually adapted.

It is important that you get in touch with a coordinator for students with disabilities as soon as possible even when you are still at the stage of considering what to study.

This is because it can sometimes take time to plan the provision of the help and support you need. In order to be provided with assistance you need to have a medical certificate from a doctor, psychologist or approved assessor for reading and writing difficulties/dyslexia.

Academic misconduct

The examiner for a course is obliged to report suspected cheating to the

Disciplinary Board

Exam invigilators will report to the examiner if a student interacts with another student during a written exam or if a student brings prohibited material to a written exam

Theses/Degree projects and other papers are examined using software that check for plagiarism

Avoid cheating and plagiarising

Studying at a university demands that you as a student learn how to:

• analyse on your own and present your own ideas, knowledge and conclusions.

• use references and quote other texts correctly in order to respect other writers’ texts and the copyright protecting them.

Avoid cheating and plagiarising

When you restructure or summarize a text, state the source in the text and in the list of references.

If you want to present an extract exactly as it is published, copy it exactly and place the text within quotation marks. State the source by the quote and in the list of references.

Learn the correct method of referencing from literature on methodology or from other sources, and also look at the course literature to see examples of how it is done in those.
