Assessment methods and criteria

Examination
Class activity and completed assignments and practice work.
Continuous learning and displays
So far, there has been no scoring of completed tasks that could replace the exam.

Assessment criteria, fail (0)

Some or all areas in progress or not done
- Exercise not returned
- Laboratory reporting not done
- Exam grade 0

Returning an exercise assignment late is basically grounds for rejection. For justified reasons, a later date is allowed when the matter has been agreed upon well in advance.

Assessment criteria, satisfactory (1-2)

Items to be evaluated
- Exam grade
- Laboratory report returned but incomplete and uncorrected
- Exercise returned incomplete

Assessment criteria, good (3-4)

The exam with a grade
Each part performed excellently while the other one is weaker, the grade ends up in this interval.

Assessment criteria, excellent (5)

Exam grade excellent 4.5 -5
Tasks done excellently
Homework done excellently
Laboratory reporting done excellently
Exercise work done excellently

If the student gets a 4.5 on the final exam and performs excellently in other areas, the grade can be increased to 5.
If the student gets a 5 on the final exam and the tasks done in other areas are at least good/excellent, the student gets a grade of 5.
