    Objects, timing and methods of assessment

    The course is assessed based on the exercises as well as the student's activity and understanding of the topics.

    In order to pass, the exercises must be successfully completed.

    The exercises are assessed on a scale from 0-5 and the assessment also condsiders the student's understanding
    - of the climate perfomance of wooden buildings
    - of the principals for conducting a Life Cycle Assessment for wooden constructions

    The course grade will be based on the results from the exercises combined with the student's activity during the course.
