Media, disinformation and propaganda: Navigating public discourse

If a student who has twice received a failing grade for the same examination component wishes to change examiner ahead of the next examination session, such a request should be made to the department in writing and should be approved by the department unless there are special reasons to the contrary (Chapter 6 Section 22 of the Higher Education Ordinance).

The number of examinations is limited to five for resource reasons. One regular examination and one re-examination in connection with the ongoing course. After that, the student is referred to the next time the course is given.

If a student has received a recommendation from the University of Gothenburg for study support for students with disabilities, the examiner may, where it is compatible with the learning outcomes of the course and provided that no unreasonable resources are required, decide to allow the student to sit an adjusted exam or alternative form of assessment.

In the event that a course has ceased or undergone major changes, students are to be guaranteed at least three examination sessions (including the ordinary examination session) over a period of at least one year, but no more than two years after the course has ceased/been changed. The same applies to internships and professional placements (VFU), although this is restricted to just one additional examination session.

Course evaluations are carried out continuously, both orally and in writing. The results are compiled and used in the department's ongoing quality work.

The results of and possible changes to the course will be shared with students who participated in the evaluation and students who are starting the course.
