Assessment methods and criteria

Assessment is based on Exercises and exams. Getting passed with a grade of 1 or higher from each subtopic is mandatory. The student must reach 40% of the maximum number of points of each subtopic to fulfill the requirement for grade 1.

For the course's overall grade, all subtopics points are summed.

Scaling F-5 will be used for grading

There are separate exercises for most sub-topics, and each part has a test.

Assessment criteria, fail (0)

There are four subtopics (wind, hydro, PV and Other) in the course. The student must have at least grade one for all subtopics otherwise the course is rejected.
