a wORD FROM dEPARTMENT hEAD

 

This week 11 applications were sent to the Norwegian Research Council. We hope for a good outcome for all of these, and we hope that at the next round there will be an even greater number of applications.

 

Otherwise, the educational administration reports a good number of applicants to all of our master programmes, and that is something we should all be happy about.

 

Have a great weekend,

Info meetings on grading of the master theses

Examination Committee will discuss the new regulations for master theses on Monday, May 26, at 12:15 at room 366. The meeting is open for all academic employees. 

 

Terje, Harald Walderhaug (Vice Dean for Education) and Ingrid Solhøy (Faculty Administration) will give information on the new exam regulations which apply to all who enrolled in master studies starting from fall 2012. How should we relate to the new regulations and what are the criteria for reaching the various grades? There are many different interpretations of this and the Examination Committee would like to establish a common grading practice.

 

On Friday, May 23, there will be arranged a similar meeting for those who cannot attend on Monday and for those who have read several interpretations of the rules and would like to discuss them in more detail. Information on the new guidelines for grading of master theses can be found at: http://www.uib.no/matnat/54551/karaktersetting-av-masteroppgaver-innenfor-mnt-fagene-nye-retningslinjer
