Information regarding extraordinary amendments to examination of MAKU 4, Spring 2021

General

During the examination assessment, students are evaluated on the basis of the learning outcomes established for the master’s programme. Normally, the examination consists of a presentation and a discussion, that includes a viewing and critical evaluation of the candidate’s artwork and the written reflection.

This basis for assessment has now been changed, since we are unsertain of the conduct the practical part; the production of artworks and the mounting of them in Kunsthallen. The learning outcomes remains the same, but the basis for assessment has been adjusted. We refer to the Studyplan (MAKUNST), course description (MAKU 4) and Assessment and examination - MA Fine Art for details of the learning outcome. these documents are available in the exam information page in MittUiB.

The examination assessment will be undertaken by a panel consisting of one or two external examiners and the candidate’s main supervisor, through Zoom. Under these circumstances, where access to workshops and studio-space with the school have been limited, the sensors will be instructed to be highly flexible in their assessment of what is reasonable expectation of achievement. The grades used is passed / not-passed. Passed exam will generate 30 ECTS.
