Assessment methods and criteria

Grading of the course is a weighted average of
- Attendance - 20%
- Period 3 - 40%
- Period 4 - 40%

Max 100 points. Min points for the grades:
5 - 90
4 - 74
3 - 58
2 - 41
1 - 25

----
For second part (prototyping) each student is graded between 0 - 5 and this constitutes half of the grade for this course. Second half comes from requirements part. For prototyping part half of the grade comes from activity in individual learning tasks and half comes from project work.

Assessment scale

0-5

Teaching methods

Contact sessions and activities: exercises, reports, group work, case studies
