Assessment methods and criteria

The evaluation of the course is based on:
1. The student's active participation in classroom instruction, with a minimum requirement of 75% attendance.
2. Performance in both midterm exams, with a minimum requirement of 40% of the total points from each exam.
3. Engagement in practice assignments, with a minimum requirement of 30% of the assignments submitted for both modules.

If a student demonstrates active participation in the course, their grade can be raised as follows:
* By 0.5 grade if they have submitted at least 60% of all assignments
* By 1 grade if they have submitted at least 90% of all assignments

Assessment criteria, fail (0)

The student has not demonstrated the achievement of the learning objectives of the course. The student only recognizes and can use a few concepts related to the subject matter of the course and is unable to apply them.

A failing grade will be given if:
1. The student has not participated sufficiently in classroom instruction (less than 75%).
2. The student has not submitted a sufficient number of assignments (less than 30% per module).
3. The student has not successfully passed either or both of the midtern exams (less than 40% of the total score for each exam).

The course will also be failed if cheating is detected in the student's performance. The first instance of detected cheating or attempted cheating will result in the rejection of the individual exam or assignment. The second instance will lead to the rejection of the entire course performance.

Assessment criteria, satisfactory (1-2)

The student has demonstrated satisfactory achievement of the learning objectives of the course. The student recognizes and is able to utilize the concepts related to the subject matter of the course to some extent.

Assessment criteria, good (3-4)

The student has demonstrated a good achievement of the learning objectives of the course, although there is still room for improvement in some areas of knowledge and skills. The student is able to effectively use the concepts related to the subject matter of the course and apply their learning in academic and work-related situations.

Assessment criteria, excellent (5)

The student has demonstrated an excellent achievement of the learning objectives of the course. The student masterfully understands the concepts related to the subject matter of the course and can analyze related topics smoothly and convincingly. The student possesses strong abilities to apply their learning in academic and work-related situations.

Objective

Student obtains the skills and knowledge required in basic mathematics and physics courses within ICT engineering education.
