Assessment criteria, satisfactory (1-2)

The student has a lot of absences. Activity in contact hours and task performance is weak.
The student has difficulties in perceiving the basic ideas of the topic and therefore it is difficult to apply what has been learned to practical work. In the performance of the tasks, the reasoning is fickle and there are shortcomings in the previously learned knowledge. The documentation of the tasks is modest.

Assessment criteria, good (3-4)

The student has few absences. Activity during contact hours and tasks is good.
The work progresses consistently during the course. The student outlines the basic ideas of the topic of the course and is able to apply what he / she has learned to the practical work and is able to explain the reasons and consequences of the choices made in professional performance. The documentation of the tasks is of a standard level.

Assessment criteria, excellent (5)

The student has actively and constructively participated in the teaching.
The student perceives the things taught in the course as well as previously learned and is able to apply what he / she has learned in a versatile and creative way to practical work. The student is able to explain and justify expertly and professionally the reasons and consequences of the choices made in the performance of the tasks. The documentation of the tasks is professional.
