Arviointimenetelmät ja arvioinnin perusteet

Final grade is based on the theoretical part (60%) and laboratory part (40%).

Grading of theoretical part:

USP pair assignment: 0-2 points
DSP pair assignment: 0-2 points
Protein purification simulation (pair assignment): 0-2 points
Reflective report (individual assignment): 0-5 points

All assignments need to be returned in time and approved.
The grading is based on teacher assessment and / or peer review. A more detailed description is given in ItsLearning platform.
Points are translated to number (F - 5) according to the separate conversion table.

Grading of laboratory part is based on laboratory work, results and report.
