Arviointikriteerit, tyydyttävä (1-2) (Opintojakso)

Student can recognise, name and define phenomena and basic concepts in the laboratory experiments.

Student manages the assigned experiments under supervision. Student knows diverse courses of action, but cannot justify his/her choices.

Student can give and receive feedback, and considers and assesses things from his/her viewpoint. Student can work in a group and recognises important courses of action in the experiments. Student takes responsibility for his/her own work.

Arviointikriteerit, hyvä (3-4) (Opintojakso)

Student structures relations between pheno,ema and concepts related to the laboratory experiments. Student is able to apply his/her knowledge, and explain the phenomena and concepts.

Student can select the most appropriate course of action from different options and justify his/her choice. Student applies his/her knowledge, plans the experiments ahead and solves problems independently.

Student can give and receive feedback actively and constructively. Student considers and assesses things both from his/her and the close community's viewpoint. Student can cooperate responsibly and is ready to develop his/her interaction skills. Student recognises and follows the important courses of action in the field. Studen also takes responsibility and commits to the group activities in addition to his/her own work.

Arviointikriteerit, kiitettävä (5) (Opintojakso)

Student understands extensive entities and relations between them. Student is able to generalize, analyse and relate the laboratory experiments to the professional context.

Student can search for diverse courses of action and solution alternatives, justify his/her choices and try new courses of action. Student also assess diverse solution alternatives and combines solution alternatives creatively or creates new ones.

Student uses feedback systematically as a professional growth tool in his/her own work and the community. Student considers and assesses himself/herself and his/her professional community or task. Student can cooperate responsibly, flexibly and constructively, and develops his/her own and the group's interaction.

Lisätietoja opiskelijoille

Participation in all laboratory exercises is mandatory. Laboratory exercise is completed when the student is present for the whole measurement and participates in the measurement activities.

Arviointikriteerit - hylätty (0) (Ei käytössä, kts Opintojakson Arviointikriteerit ylempänä)

Evaluation is based of the grades of the laboratory works. Each report is evaluated based on the work in the laboratory, results and the report.

Participation to measurement classes and presentations is compulsory.
Detailed evaluation, see in tabula.

Delivery times:
- 2 working weeks from the date of the measurements
- a delay will affect negatively on the grading
- the dead line is 4 working weeks from the date of measurements

If reports from several students are found to copies of each other (even partially), all those reports are disqualified, and students involved will need to perform new measurements for different laboratory assignments and write new reports from those measurements.

Arviointikriteerit - tyydyttävä (1-2) (Ei käytössä, kts Opintojakson Arviointikriteerit ylempänä)

Participation to all measurement classes and presentations is compulsory.
Reports have been done,methods and results have been presented, structure and analyses may have some shortages and can be partly erroneous. Discussion contains very few, simple conclusions.

Arviointikriteerit - hyvä (3-4) (Ei käytössä, kts Opintojakson Arviointikriteerit ylempänä)

Participation to all measurement classes and presentations is compulsory.
Measurements and reports done in a normal way. Results and analyses are correct.
Reports have been done correctly according to the reporting standards of TAMK. Discussion contains some comments relevant comments relating to the results and applications.

Arviointikriteerit - kiitettävä (5) (Ei käytössä, kts Opintojakson Arviointikriteerit ylempänä)

Participation to all measurement classes and presentations is compulsory.
Measurements and reports done with comprehensive, active, collaborative working. Results and analyses are correct.
