A course exam can consist of an exam assignment alone, or of an assignment followed by an oral exam.
Please check the course description in LearnIT for more information about your exam assignment.
Whether the course exam includes an oral exam or not, the assignment must be submitted in WISEflow and all exam assignments must include a cover sheet with these details filled in:
- Declaration of honesty
- Number of characters
- Number of pages
Size of the exam assignment
How many pages to submit in order to fulfill the requirements for the assignment is listed in the course description. A standard page is 2,400 units per page, including spaces and notes.
The standard page refers to the body of the written work. The body includes the preface and all original text that is part of the original argumentation and message plus citations.
The body does not include: front page, colophon, table of contents, abstract, bibliography, appendices and illustrations and charts
There is no upper or lower limit to the page span of the elements not included in the body.
Body versus appendices
The exact division can be tricky at times, but a general rule of thumb is that the body is the line of argumentation, while the appendix material serves to substantiate the argument(s).
