delprøve

A delprøve is a term primarily used in Norway to refer to a smaller, often formative, assessment or test. It is not a final examination but rather a component within a larger course or subject. The purpose of a delprøve is typically to gauge student understanding of specific topics or modules covered over a particular period. This allows instructors to monitor progress and identify areas where students might need additional support before a more significant assessment, such as a final exam or a larger project.

Delprøver can take various forms, including quizzes, short written assignments, oral presentations, or practical demonstrations. They are usually graded, but the weight of this grade in the overall course assessment can vary significantly. In some educational settings, delprøver might contribute a small percentage to the final grade, while in others, they might be primarily for diagnostic purposes with little to no impact on the final mark. The frequency of delprøver also differs, with some courses incorporating them regularly, while others may have only one or two throughout the academic term. The concept emphasizes continuous assessment as a tool for learning and feedback.
