The course uses continuous assessment, where important workplace skills, such as evaluating your own work and that of others, are also practiced/assessed.

Total points for the course: 54 points, with

30 points available from midterm exams and measurement tasks (6 x 5p). (Includes self-assessment and peer assessment. No retake opportunities for these).
24 points available from a more challenging final exam. (To be done on paper at the end of the course, and the teacher will assess it.)

Grade 1: 24 points,
Grade 2: 30 points,
Grade 3: 36 points,
Grade 4: 42 points,
Grade 5: 48 points

In this implementation, the teacher can assign tasks where the use of generative AI is allowed/not allowed. If a student uses AI tools as permitted in their assignments, they must reference the AI used and provide the prompts (inputs) alongside their answers.

If a student presents AI-generated results as their own without proper references, sources, and/or prompts, the teacher may refuse to accept the work or require it to be redone.The teacher has the right to ask the student if they have used AI in their assignment.

Grade improvements and retakes for the course are done by retaking the final exam.
Self-assessment and peer assessment will be used to support the evaluation, but the teacher will conduct spot checks. If a student does not follow to the grading scale provided by the teacher and acts dishonestly in their assessment, their performance will be rejected.

The course uses continuous assessment, where important workplace skills, such as evaluating your own work and that of others, are also practiced/assessed.

Total points for the course: 54 points, with

30 points available from midterm exams and measurement tasks (6 x 5p). (Includes self-assessment and peer assessment. No retake opportunities for these).
24 points available from a more challenging final exam. (To be done on paper at the end of the course, and the teacher will assess it.)

Grade 1: 24 points,
Grade 2: 30 points,
Grade 3: 36 points,
Grade 4: 42 points,
Grade 5: 48 points

In this implementation, the teacher can assign tasks where the use of generative AI is allowed/not allowed. If a student uses AI tools as permitted in their assignments, they must reference the AI used and provide the prompts (inputs) alongside their answers.

If a student presents AI-generated results as their own without proper references, sources, and/or prompts, the teacher may refuse to accept the work or require it to be redone.The teacher has the right to ask the student if they have used AI in their assignment.

Grade improvements and retakes for the course are done by retaking the final exam.
Self-assessment and peer assessment will be used to support the evaluation, but the teacher will conduct spot checks. If a student does not follow to the grading scale provided by the teacher and acts dishonestly in their assessment, their performance will be rejected.
