Assessment methods and criteria

Osallistuminen välikokeisiin ja niiden hyväksytty suorittaminen. Sovittujen tehtävien palautus ajallaan. Osallistuminen ryhmätyöskentelyyn.
Kokeiden arvosana määräytyy seuraavasti:
50-60% max. pisteistä --> 1
60-70% max. pisteistä --> 2
70-80% max. pisteistä --> 3
80-90% max. pisteistä --> 4
> 90% max pisteistä --> 5
Tenttien tulokset, ennakkotehtävien ja sovittujen arviointiin palautettujen tehtävien suoritus & palautus aikataulun mukaisesti, ryhmätehtävien esitykset.
Välikokeet tulee olla suoritettu hyväksytysti sekä ryhmätyö. Välikokeiden pisteet lasketaan yhteen. Ryhmätyöstä voi saada pisteitä maksimissaan yhden arvosanan verran.
Uusinta ja korotus: välikokeita ei voi uusia. Kurssin voi uusia kahdesti (lopputentti) tai kurssiarvosanan korottaa kerran määrättyinä uusinta- ja korotustenttipäivinä.
