Assessment methods and criteria
Literature study assessment criteria:
- Literature study is completed and submitted to Tabula in time
- The presentation is given by the student.
Personal project work assessment criteria:
- An aircraft has been designed and is capable of flying.
- Documentation is created and submitted to Tabula in time, proving the performance and stability of the aircraft.
- Parameter modifications has been made to the aircraft. The performance & stability study has been made to investigate the effects of the modifications. The documentation of the study is created and submitted to Tabula in time.
- A personal project work presentation is given to class.
