Examinations on a course:

•
•
•
•
Ask the course coordinator how the
course will be assessed
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!

School of Business and
Economics in Kalmar

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.
