Assessment methods and criteria
The course assessment is based on:
1. Active participation
2. Timely submission of weekly exercises
3. The final LCNC project outcome
Each section (1-3) receives its own grade, and to pass the course, each section must be approved.
The final grade is calculated based on the weighted scores from each section:
1. Attendance 25%
2. Weekly assignments 50%
3. Final project 25%
Section 1: Attendance
Attendance fewer than 13 times: Fail
Attendance 13 times: Grade 1
Attendance 14 times: Grade 2
Attendance 15 times: Grade 3
Attendance 16 times: Grade 4
Attendance more than 16 times: Grade 5
Section 2: Weekly Assignments
There are 9 weekly assignments, each graded from 0 to 3 points as follows:
0 points: Assignment not submitted on time OR Submission is incomplete and does not match instructions OR Submission shows signs of cheating, e.g., identical to another student's work.
1 point: Assignment submitted on time AND submission is incomplete or partially matches instructions.
2 points: Assignment submitted on time AND submission mostly matches instructions but contains minor shortcomings.
3 points: Assignment submitted on time AND submission fully matches instructions.
Grading scale based on total points:
Fewer than 13 points: Fail
13–15 points: Grade 1
16–18 points: Grade 2
19–21 points: Grade 3
22–24 points: Grade 4
25–27 points: Grade 5
NOTE: Passing the course requires submission of at least 50% of the assignments. Only assignments submitted on time will be evaluated.
Section 3: Final Project
No final project produced and presented at the final event OR the project submission includes cheating (e.g., the final product is clearly not the group's own work) OR the application is significantly unfinished, non-functional, or incomprehensible: FAIL
Application partially functions but has significant issues affecting usability or functionality. Issues may relate to the user interface, operational logic, or feature performance: Grade 1
Application meets minimum requirements but clearly needs improvement in technical aspects and usability. It is very basic, with minimal additional features or enhancements beyond essential functions: Grade 2
Application is functional and usable but lacks significant innovation. Well-executed and meets course requirements, but not notably innovative or distinctive: Grade 3
Application is technically high-quality and includes thoughtful additional features. Good consideration of user interface and user experience. Tools and techniques are used effectively, and the application stands out positively (additional features should be purposeful rather than merely decorative): Grade 4
Application is innovative, exceptionally well-executed, and provides users with something new and significant. It creatively and effectively utilizes course tools. Technically flawless, highly user-friendly, and offers an outstanding user experience. Demonstrates a clear understanding of leveraging low-code platforms for broader application development opportunities: Grade 5

Teaching methods
Tämä kurssi käyttää seuraavia oppimismenetelmiä:
- Luennot: teoreettinen tausta ja erilaisten Low Code/No-Code -kehysten ja ympäristöjen käytön esittely. Näitä kehyksiä/ympäristöjä voidaan käyttää esimerkiksi ohjelmisto-/pelikehityksessä tai mobiilisovellus- tai websovelluskehityksessä.
- Käytännön harjoitukset: luennoilla esiteltyjen LCNC-työkalujen käytön harjoittelu.
- Ryhmätyö: opiskelijat tekevät LCNC-projektin, jossa he käyttävät luennoilla ja harjoituksissa opittuja työkaluja ja taitoja.
Exam schedules
Ei tenttiä.
International connections
Opintojaksolla opitaan taitoja harjoitusten ja käytännön projektityön avulla.
Opintojaksolla käytetään vain sähköisiä materiaaleja.
