provplanen

Provplanen is a planning document used in Swedish education to describe the schedule and scope of assessments for a course, program, or term. It helps students and staff know when examinations and graded activities occur and how they affect the final grade.

A typical provplan lists the course or module, assessment type (written test, oral exam, lab report, home assignment, project), date and time, duration, location or online format, and the weight of each assessment. It may also include deadlines for continuous assessments and rules for retakes.

Creation and publication: Provplanen is usually prepared by course coordinators or the institution’s examination office in collaboration with department administration. It is aligned with the academic calendar and curricular requirements and is published in the learning management system or the official timetable portal.

Usage and impact: Students consult provplanen to plan study time and prepare accordingly. Teachers use it to coordinate assessment dates and ensure fair distribution, while administrators monitor adherence to rules and accommodations.

Variations: The exact format and terminology of provplanen differ between institutions; some may call it exam timetable or assessment plan while still serving the same purpose.
