Arviointikriteerit - hylätty (0) (Ei käytössä, kts Opintojakson Arviointikriteerit ylempänä)
Student did not participate in the group work and/or exam or the student participated in the group work and exam, but the achieved competence is insufficient. This means that the student is not familiar with the basic concepts related to pollution, sustainability and environmental management systems.
Arviointikriteerit - tyydyttävä (1-2) (Ei käytössä, kts Opintojakson Arviointikriteerit ylempänä)
-Student participated in the group work and in the exam. The achieved competence is sufficient but narrow.
Student shows throughout the course (assignments, classroom discussions) and at the exam that is familiar with the basic concepts and phenomena related to the pollution, sustainability and environmental management systems; has basic theoretical knowledge in treatment and prevention methods.
The group work was done, reported and presented within the deadline but background information minimal, reporting structured according to the instructions but literature references are missing, presentation incomplete, discussion and conclusions are inadequate showing only narrow competence achieved.
