the exam!, in two parts
Questions about exam practicalities are not necessarily my favourite ones, and not the type of information I am most eager to convey & lecture on from the very start. But I've been asked, and, by all means, I do take exams seriously too. I'm going for a *two-part exam*:
(a) Part One is a take-home project, perhaps over ten days, where you hand in a nice report; think about this is a "moderately tough Oblig", in the style of e.g. Emil Stoltenberg's oblig for STK 4011, autumn semester 2019.
(b) Part Two will be a four-hour no-book "school exam" (and where each student is allowed precisely 1 page of handwritten notes).
The final grade awarded a student is then taking on board both (a) and (b). So if you have a good project report, your grade might be good, even if you feel the four-hour exam format is not your best way to demonstrate what you've learned in the course of the course.
Clearly, practical details regarding these things will come in due course, to be settled before Idus Martiae.
