Official Opening of USN Industry Master programs 2018:

• Kongsberg, Friday 17 Aug 2018

Number of IIA students Company Location 1 Ineos Rafnes, Bamble 1 MHWirth Horten 2 GKN Aerospace Kongsberg

Teaching model for the IIA industry master

• Students follow the online program

– Video lectures – Links to external sources – Assignments

• Students are divided in groups

– Group works – Discussion groups

• Students may follow lectures and exercises

together with the campus students

• Meetings with the industry partner, students and

USN representatives

• Gatherings with the students (midterm evaluation)
• Internal and external supervisor for the project and

master thesis

• High flexibility for the student and the company
• Students will have time to digest the theory
• Students will have time to practice the theory
• Students get known with

– the company, – the other student, – the lecturers Lecturer Student Subject Work Company

Laboratory work PT/EET

• Integrated part of courses

– 2nd semester: Combustion lab – 3rd semester: Heat exchanger lab – 5th semester: Control lab (?) – 6th semester: Biogas lab (EET) – 7th semester: Powder lab (elective)

• In most cases, lab at the end of the semester

Personnel, 1PT/1EET

See handout with pictures 1st semester: Svein Linge, Lars Erik Øi and Carlos Pfeiffer

Teaching and learning methods

• Detailed plan for each course
• Asynchronous teaching and learning  Video lectures
• Well-specified reading material
• Exercises with solutions
• Some lab work
• Some project work
• Some online supervision
• Course contents as for the campus student programmes

Plan for fall 2018

• Courses: Weeks 34-47
• Exams: Week 48-51

(check the web page)

• Spring 2019 startup:

Wed 9 Jan

Class representatives

• 1 representative + 1 deputy for each class
• Connection point between class and

department/lecturers

• Election within 14-30 days after start of semester,

preferably during this meeting

• The representative should be familiar with the

Norwegian language

Student evaluation of courses

• Mid-semester meeting

– meeting between class representatives and coordinator – what is good, what can be improved, etc; both current and previous semesters are discussed

• At the end of the semester

– electronic evaluation of courses – online form to be filled in – Please do it!

Project work

• 7th semester: 10-credit project
• Crucial point: Work together in groups to solve a

technical problem

• Coordinators for 7th semester projects: Lars-André

Tokheim (PT/EET), Håkon Viumdal (IIA) and Dietmar Winkler (EP)

• Requirement to start project: At least 30 credits passed
• More info about projects and team work later
• Project and master’s thesis in cooperation with your

company

Grading at USN

• Based on:

– Mid term test(s) – Assignments / Group work / Labs – Final test

• Weighting different for different courses (check the course descriptions)
• Final test at the end of the semester (during the exam period)

Grading at USN (cont'd)

<40 % 40-50 % 50-60 % 60-80 % 80-90 % >90 % Recommended ranges

How to obtain good grades

1. Follow the course plan – Study the curriculum (textbooks are required) – Watch the videos – Do the exercises etc – Be on time with hand-ins etc 2. Expect a workload of 13 hours per week per 10 ECTS; make your own study schedule for the entire semester so that you know you will have enough time available 3. Be careful when writing reports etc.

• Do NOT copy text! Always use your own words when writing

reports etc.

• Use references the proper way
• Avoid a delay in the hand-in of assignments; start early

Exams, marks and complaints about marks

• Mandatory tests and assignments during the semester

contribute to the final grade in many courses

• All lectures relevant for the final test (exam)
• In case of illness, a doctor's notice is required,
• therwise one fails the exam!
• Complaints about marks must be made within three

weeks after announcement.

• Complaints about marks on oral exams can not be

made.

Cheating...

• An increasing number of cheating cases
• Several incidents discovered at USN every semester
• Many cases of cheating related to copying the work of
• thers
• At USN we are using software to scan reports and

theses  "copy-and-paste" cases will be detected

• Make sure you know the rules for references and

citing!

What is considered cheating?

• Copying information without citations and referencing, for example:

– from books or articles – from information found in the internet – from other student reports – from lecture notes or exercises

• Use of aids which are not permitted, for example:

– during tests/exams – for assignments

• Willfully breaking any rules for taking exams or tests

The consequence of cheating

• From Examination Regulations, § 14, #1:

In cases of cheating or attempts at cheating, the Board or the Appeals Committee is authorized to annul a test, a final exam, an assignment or the recognition of a course.

• The student may be expelled from USN and may lose

her/his right to sit for examinations at USN and all other Norwegian Colleges and Universities for up to one year!

IT systems

• Canvas

– interface between students and lecturers/administration – one virtual classroom per course – should be checked daily

• Student email

– used for communication between lecturers and students etc – should be checked daily

• M: Common storage and program disks
• StudentWeb

– to register for exams (in electives ++), check marks etc – in case of problems/questions, ask Dina Lundgren Kleiva

• English version of Office available

Course: Searching scientific databases and citing references

• Course content:

– Searching information – Citing references

• Useful for project work and report writing
• All campus master students have to attend this course
• Course material will be made available to web students
