Evaluation scale

H-5

Assessment methods and criteria

Grading with scale 0-5.

Group work is 60 % of the grade. To pass the course you need to pass the group work i.e. get at least half of the total points.
- Each sprint is evaluated with 0-2 points. There will be 6 Sprints in total. Passing the group work = min. 6 points.
- Sprint review, for example, 2 points (all tasks done in time, as requested, no weaknesses), 1 point (some shortcomings/omissions in answers), 0 point (not in time, some tasks missing, major faults).
- Points = Grade: 0-5 points = Failed; 6-8 points = 1; 9-10 points = 2; 11-12 points = 3 i.e. with the group work only, a student can get grade 3.

Active presence and/or returning exercises during the teaching session is 40 % of the grade.
- 1 point / session available, which is based on either presence or exercise returns during the session.
- With participating in sessions, a student can get 0-2 grades more on top of the group work grade
- Points = Grade: < 50% of total points = 0; 50-74% of total points = +1; 75-100% of total points = +2
