Evaluation methods and criteria

Opintojakso arvioidaan asteikolla 0 - 5.

Arvosanaan vaikuttaa aktiivinen osallistuminen tehtävien suorittamiseen sekä ryhmätyöskentelyyn, tehtävien suorittaminen sekä sovitun aikataulun noudattaminen.

Arvioinnin perusteina (yksilöharjoitustyöt ja raportit, ryhmäharjoitustyöt):
- Tiedonhankinnan kattavuus ja hyödyntäminen työskentelyssä
- Reflektointi, näkökulmien ymmärtäminen ja kokonaisuuksien hahmottaminen
- Ideoiden ja vaihtoehtojen monipuolisuus
- Tehtävien palauttaminen sovitussa aikataulussa

Itse-/vertaisarviointi vaikuttaa arvosanan muodostumiseen opettajan arvioinnin lisäksi.
