Arviointimenetelmät ja arvioinnin perusteet

The course consists of 10 weekly assignment series, which include studying programming theory and completing related programming tasks. Students earn points by demonstrating their work to the instructor.

During the course, students complete a project in which they create a more extensive application (applying the knowledge they have gained during the course and innovatively utilizing AI programming copilots). This project allows students to apply what they have learned and demonstrate their skills.

Each weekly assignment can earn a maximum of 10 points. The overall assessment of the weekly assignment series follows the following scale:

40 points -> grade 1
55 points -> grade 2
70 points -> grade 3
80 points -> grade 4
90 points -> grade 5
The project is assessed separately on a scale of 1-5.

The student's course grade is the average of the weekly assignments and the project. Both components must be passed.

If, during the course, it appears that a student will not achieve the required points to pass, they will be given the opportunity to complete missing assignments retroactively. For these assignments, they can earn up to half of the available points. The student must collect the required points before the course end date.
