sluttvurderingsgrunnlag

Sluttvurderingsgrunnlag is the basis used to determine the final grade or evaluation for a course, program, or assignment. It encompasses all components that are part of the summative assessment, such as final exams, projects, papers, practical tests, and, where stated, the contribution of participation or attendance. The exact composition and weighting are defined in the course plan or curriculum guidelines and communicated to students at the start of the course.

The basis typically specifies how each component contributes to the final grade and may include rules for resits, extensions, or adjustments for illness and other justified reasons. It also describes procedures for handling missing assessments and for ensuring fairness and transparency in the grading process. The sluttvurderingsgrunnlag should be documented and align with national or institutional assessment regulations, and instructors are responsible for applying it consistently.

Sluttvurderingsgrunnlag is distinct from underveisvurdering (ongoing assessment), which aims to monitor learning progress and provide feedback during the course rather than determine the final grade. Understandable criteria and early communication help students prepare and meet the required standards. Students generally have the right to obtain information about the basis used for their final grade and to request clarification or a formal review or appeal if they believe the basis has been applied incorrectly or inconsistently.
