Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
Grading of the course is based on the separate assessment of the different tasks on a scale of 1-5.Written paper: 45 percent, individually assessed, individual feedback by the lecturer is provided;
Oral presentation: 15 percent, individually assessed, feedback provided by the lecturer upon request;
Commentary (written + oral): 20 percent, individually assessed, feedback on request;
Active participation in the discussion, punctuality of submission - in particular of paper and sketch: 20 percent, individually assessed, no feedback.Each partial performance is independently evaluated. Attendance, punctuality in handing in papers and adherence to academic standards are required, but can have a negative effect on the overall grade if they are not adhered to. To achieve a positive grade, the weighted average of the sub-grades must be greater than or equal 4.5.Important Grading Information
If not explicitly noted otherwise, all requirements mentioned in the grading scheme and the attendance regulations must be met. If a required task is not fulfilled, e.g. a required assignment is not handed in or if the student does not meet the attendance requirements, this will be considered as a discontinuation of the course. In that case, the course will be graded as ‘fail’ (5), unless there is a major and unpredictable reason for not being able to fulfill the task on the student's side (e.g. a longer illness). In such a case, the student may be de-registered from the course without grading. It is the student’s responsibility to communicate this in a timely manner, and to provide relevant evidence to their claims if necessary. Whether this exception applies is decided by the Vice-Director of the study program.
If any requirement of the course has been fulfilled by fraudulent means, be it for example by cheating at an exam or plagiarizing parts of a written assignment, the entire course will be graded as ‘not assessed’ and will be entered into the electronic exam record as ‘fraudulently obtained’. Self-plagiarism, particularly re-using own work handed in for other courses, will be treated likewise.Presence
Attendance is compulsory during the entire duration of the seminar from 9-11 June 2022.
