Assessment criteria

Grade scale: 0-5

Course evaluation consists of the weekly tasks, a project, and possibly exams.

Assessment scale

1-5

Failed (0)

Not able to reach level 1 criterias.

Assessment criteria: level 1 (assessment scale 1–5)

The student and the group have been able to cooperate productively and document their work. The student and the group are able to present their output to other students as instructed. The output mainly meets the criteria of the assignments.

Assessment criteria: level 3 (assessment scale 1–5)

Student and group presentations are clear and logical. They clearly show the implementation in accordance with the tasks given and any deviations have been reported. The student's and group's presentations reflect an understanding of the work, e.g. the terms and professional words are correct. The student and group members also talk about what they have learned and solutions to challenges (reflection).

Assessment criteria: level 5 (assessment scale 1–5)

The student's and group's presentations also contain a link to the theory of the course, and you can compare and justify with facts the solutions that have been used in the work. The student and the group have been able to add something extra they came up with to the work. The presentations are illustrative and things are explained with the help of examples
