Applies for all with exception for examinations at the Medical Doctor Programme (Norwegian)

Prepare the examination

• Find date and time for exams on the course information page.
• Report the need for third-party software and Lovdata in this form, as early as possible.
• If students are required to complete assignments to take the examination - make a list of students who have completed the required coursework. Give this list to the administration at your department at least 9 workdays before the scheduled examination for the course.  
• External examiners: Please check how your department/faculty normally handles this - whether you have to suggest external examiners or if this is taken care of by the department. Start the process of finding appeals graders, especially for large courses.
• Remember to inform the students well about the exam. General information about the exam for students.
• Tip: Don't put information about the time and location of exams on Blackboard. Direct the students to the information on Studentweb.

Write and deliver exam questions

• Deadline for delivering/sharing the examination and guide for the external examiner is 7 workdays before the examination. Use current cover page templates for examination papers.
• Digital exam: This is how you create the question set in Inspera Assessment. Graders can access mark schemes in Inspera. See "Preparatory information about grading at NTNU" on the wiki page Grading in Inspera Assessment for more information.
• Make sure the question set is available in all relevant languages.
• Make sure the question set is checked, in accordance with current guidelines at your department. Both the question set, any attachments, and the mark scheme should be discussed with and checked by a colleague within the same discipline.
• Ensure safe sending/delivery of question sets, in accordance with current procedures at your department.
• For digital exams using Inspera Assessment, you must remember to clarify the test settings with the administrative staff at the department.

If you wish to use hand-drawings for written school exams, notify the department administration, as this requires activation of InsperaScan in the test setup.

During the exam

• Room assigments for written school exams are ready three days prior to the examination date at the latest. For examination room assignments, check the course site under the tab "Examination". The number of candidates are shown in brackets.
• As a teacher, you are not required to attend the exam at the exam location, but you must be available throughout the exam, in accordance with current guidelines.
• Errors in the question set – If the course coordinator/teacher discovers an error in the question set after the exam has started, follow the current routine.
