Assessment and permitted materials
Hinweis der SPL:
Die Verwendung von KI-Tools (z. B. ChatGPT) für die Produktion von Texten ist nur dann erlaubt, wenn dies von der Lehrveranstaltungsleitung ausdrücklich gefordert wird (z. B. für einzelne Arbeitsaufgaben).Note from the SPL:
The use of AI tools (e.g. ChatGPT) for the production of texts is only permitted if this is expressly requested by the course instructor (e.g. for individual work tasks).
---------------------
Assignment criteria (Seminar)
— end-term research report (collaborative written assignment, 40 points)
— presentation (collaborative work, 20 points)
— meaningful participation in discussions, activities, and decision making processes (individual work, 30 points)
— assignments (individual work, 10 points)Assignment criteria (practical placement)
— active participation in carrying out an empirical study at a partner school (data collection and documentation)Assessment will be based on students' ability to
— understand and work towards the aims of the course,
— understand and follow guidelines (project, assignments, assessment criteria),
— implement theory into practice,
— think critically,
— construct and express clear arguments,
— work independently and in groups,
— organize their time and keep deadlines.To complete the course, all areas of assessment must be positive.
