On the oral examination for higher grades
-
Students aiming at grade 4, 5, or VG must pass an oral examination.
-
Note that, to be allowed to do this, the written reports and
opposition as well as the oral presentation must be of high quality.
-
The oral exam will cover the theoretical material in the course, as
defined in the course plan for the main course book by Rardin. The
emphasis on the different subjects is mainly defined by the notes from
the theoretical lecture series.
-
The oral exam is organized as follows:
- The student receives 5-6 exercises and may study these for 1/2 hour
in a separate room
- The oral examination will then take place for 1/2 hour
-
