The student must demonstrate that they have mastered at least 40% of the set course objectives in order for the study attainment to be considered completed.

Lecturers mark the performance once a month as approved if and when all assignments are shown as completed.

Assessment criteria, approved/failed

Opintojakso arvioidaan asteikolla hyväksytty/hylätty. Opintojaksolla käytetään sekä itsearviointia ja vertaisarviointia että lehtorin arviointia. Arviointi perustuu opintojakson osaamistavoitteisiin. Opiskelijan tulee osoittaa hallitsevansa vähintään 40 % asetetuista opintojakson tavoitteista, jotta opintosuoritus voidaan katsoa suoritetuksi.
Automaattisesti arvioitavista tehtävistä ei tule erillistä palautetta.
Opiskelijat kommentoivat ja vertaisarvioivat toistensa tekemiä soveltavia tehtäviä 1–3. Vertaisarvioinnissa kiinnitetään huomiota opintojakson tavoitteisiin.
Opettajat antavat kaikista tehtävistä yhteispalautteen opintojakson päättymisen jälkeen. Palautetta annetaan ilmaisusta, sisällöstä, opiskelijoiden toiminnassa havaituista haasteista ja onnistumisista, vuorovaikutuksen aktiivisuudesta ja kutakin lehtoria innostaneesta asiasta.

Qualifications

The student is required the ability to participate in UAS studies.
