Assessment methods and criteria

Tehtävien ja koko kurssin arviointi asteikolla hyväksytty / hylätty. Hyväksytyn suorituksen edellytyksenä on kerätä vähintään 50 % tehtävien maksimipisteistä.


Opintosuoritukset on suunniteltu niin, ettei niiden tekemiseen tule hyödyntää tekoälyä. Opettajalla ei ole käytössä tekoälyn vilpillisen käytön tunnistavaa järjestelmää eikä osaamista. Mikäli opiskelija kerää opintosuoritukset tekoälyn avulla, mutta joutuu myöhemmissä opinnoissaan tai työelämässä pulaan koska ei ole oppinut asiaa oikeasti, kuuluu vastuu tästä opiskelijalle - ei opettajalle eikä oppilaitokselle.
