Assessment methods and criteria

Opiskelijan osaamista arvioidaan opiskelijatiimien saamien tiimitehtävien perusteella. Opintokokonaisuuksien jälkeen pidettävillä tiimitehtäväsessioilla muodostuu kuhunkin tiimitehtäviin perustuva yksilö- ja tiimiarviointi. Opiskelijan yksilöosaamisen arviointi tapahtuu tiimitehtäviä koskevien testien perusteella ja tiimiosaamisen arviointi tapahtuu tiimitehtävistä palautettavien esitysten perusteella. Testeistä saatava yksilöarvosana on 0...2 arvosanaa ja tiimitehtävien esityksistä saatava tiimiarvosana on 0...3 arvosanaa. Kullakin tiimitehtäväsessiolla opiskelijan kokonaisarvosana muodostuu näiden summana. Opiskelijan saama opintojakson arvosana muodostuu tiimitehtäväsessioiden kokonaisarvosanojen keskiarvona.

Jokaisten tiimitehtävien testit ja palautukset on tehtävä kunkin tiimitehtäväsession aikana.

Hyväksytyn suorituksen arviointeja ei voi korottaa.
