For educators

The examiner guideline is an important tool to ensure that the assessment of the student’s exam work is carried out on a common and academically sound basis. It aims to contribute to fairness, quality, and predictability in the examination process.

Why is the Examiner Guideline important?

The examiner guideline should:

• Ensure a shared understanding of the assessment criteria
• Contribute to equal and fair assessment of students' performances
•  Fullfill the requirements in the Universities and Colleges Act § 11-7, third paragraph, which states that a written examiner guideline must be prepared for all exams.
