The qualifications obtained in LAICS Module 2 are documented in a ‘mini-project'.
A mini-project is a written report produced by students individually or in groups of two or three. The written report should be no longer than fifteen pages, excluding appendices and attachments if written by one student. If the report is written by a group of students, the required number of pages increases: two students: twenty pages, three students: twenty-five pages).
The mini-project is evaluated during an oral exam (30 minutes per student). The written report is the basis for the oral exam. The oral exam must be taken individually.
The grade is based on an overall evaluation of the written report as well as the student's performance during the oral examination.
The written report and the oral exam are evaluated by an internal examiner (responsible lecturer) and an external examiner. Grades are given on an individual basis.
In accordance with Executive Order no. 867 of 19 August 2004, §11, Section 1, one mark is subtracted from the grade for the academic performance if the student's ability to express her or himself in writing substantially limits the comprehensibility of the project report. However, in accordance with Executive Order no. 867 of 19 August 2004, §11, Section 3, the student may be granted an exemption from the above-mentioned requirement if the student can document a relevant specific functional disability.
