Assessment
The assessment of the course is based on two individual mini-projects and one group project:
✓ individual/group project (x3)
✓ report (PDF) and/or presentation (x3)
✓ min. 50% of the attendance
Assessment: project – max. 25 points; report/ presentation – max. 10 points
95 – 105 - A/5 EXCELLENT - outstanding performance
88 – 94 – B/4+ VERY GOOD - above the average standard with only minor errors
80 – 87 – C/4 GOOD - generally sound work with some minor errors
70 – 79 – D/3+ SATISFACTORY - fair but with a number of notable errors
55 – 69 – E/3 SUFFICIENT - fair but with significant shortcomings
0 – 54 – F/2 FAIL
