Within the LEC Teamwork category, the following assignments need to be completed:
Within the LEC Presentation category, the following assignments need to be completed:
- The final grading is based on the following categories: The group tasks determines 50% of the final mark, the presentation of this group tasks and the theoretical questions related to the topic of the group tasks determine the other 50% of the final mark.
- Partial scores cannot be transferred to the second sitting in August and the task submitted in the second sitting cannot be the same as the task submitted in the first sitting.
- The presentation of the group tasks has a relative weight of 20 which comprises 20% of the total mark. Theoretical questions related to the course content and theoretical questions related to the topic of the group task also have a a relative weight of 30 which comprises 30% of the total mark.
- The student must have participated in all parts of the exams – otherwise he/she receives an ‘absent’ on the grade sheet.
- A peer assessment (mandatory) will be used to establish the individual grading on the group work. Students must assess themselves and fellow group members on a number of criteria. The result of this is an individual adjustment factor. The adjustment factor will be used to individualise the group point (= the inherent value of the group work). This is done by multiplying the group point by the adjustment factor.
- The group work is quoted at 10/20, and has a weight of 50% in the quotation of the entire course unit.
- If a student does not complete a peer assessment within the set deadline, the lecturer may decide to use the maximum deduction of points.
- The lecturer always has the last word and can decide to increase or decrease the adjustment factor, or even not to take it into account at all, if the obtained scores turn out to be unreliable.
- This decision will in principle only be taken in exceptional cases, but will always be based on clear arguments, analyses, and/or additional observations/discussions.
