Task-based assessment
The study unit is assessed on a scale from 1 to 5 based on course assignments and active attendance and participation. No exam.
One factor is attendance and contribution activity, and the rest are oral and written assignments. Each of these brings in 0 to 2 points such that
0 points = task done but not handed in on time/not accepted before revision
1 point = accepted
2 points = good work.
Grade Points
5 11 - 12
4 9 - 10
3 7 - 8
2 5 - 6
1 1 - 4
0 Tasks not accepted.
For attendance, points can be gained such that
- 1 point = 13 out of 15 sessions, "mentally awake"
- 2 points = 13 out of 15 sessions, actively contributing to discussions, taking others into account in group situations, and showing initiative.
