Evaluation scale

H-5

Assessment criteria, satisfactory (1)

Exam
answers depend heavily on words and expressions found in the literature
has superficial knowledge of the subject, but shows a basic understanding of the subject

Written assignment
The student has partially followed the instructions for the written assignment. The student shows limited to a deficient knowledge of the knowledge of the substance.

Assessment criteria, good (3)

Exam
can account for the literature, reflect and motivate his/her views
can give an independent account of the literature
understands most of the topic
presents independent views and can apply ideas to analogous situations
can motivate some of their claims and positions
can give some own examples

Written assignment
The student has mostly followed the instructions for the written assignment and has mastered the substance of her/his work, but the application is limited. The student can ask relevant questions and can lead a discussion at the seminar.

Assessment criteria, excellent (5)

Exam
has in-depth knowledge of the subject
can analyze and interpret subject facts
master the subject versatile
has a broad grasp of the subject

Written assignment
The student has followed the instructions for the assignment and shows that she/he has mastered the substance. She/he have read the other participants' assignments and can ask relevant questions and can lead a discussion at the seminar. The assignment and the possible opponentship show something out of the ordinary (technical execution, oral presentation, mature reflections, independent working methods)

Assessment methods and criteria

Performed assignments and the course is graded 0-5 based on result in individual exam.
