P, F

• PRO1 - Online quiz, 1.5 credits, Grading scale: P, F

Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.

The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.

Online quiz ( PRO1 )

To get an overall passing grade the student needs to pass each of the modules with a grade of no less than the maximum number of points for the quiz minus one. For example, the module "Ethical Research" has 4 points, hence a student must get a grade of at least 3 points on this module, this is considered a passing grade for the module. A student can repeat each quiz an unlimited number of times to reach a passing grade for the module. Each student must achieve a passing grade in all 4 modules to get a final passing grade for the course.

Note that there is no opportunity to raise your grade, once you have a grade of  “P” or higher (as the course is grade P/F). 

The final grade will be reported via LADOK.
