Assessment methods and criteria

Evaluation according to Bloom's taxonomy:

Novice level: (1)

You demonstrate that you know and understand how things mentioned in assignment learning outcomes work.

Advanced level: (3)

You demonstrate that you are able to adapt things listed in assignment learning outcomes into different situations than just those listed in Moodle workspace.

Desired level: (5)

You demonstrate that you are able to create completely new solutions utilizing things mentioned in assignment learning outcomes, or adapt them into totally different situations than shown before.

You demonstrate that you are able to evaluate and give reasoning why things mentioned in assignment learning outcomes can, and should apply as you have done in new situations.

Each learning assignment is scored using criterion mentioned above using scale 0-5.

Final course grade is calculated using formula:

Score = Sum of your learning assignment scores
Max = Maximum obtainable score from all learning assignments

Final Grade = (Score / Max) * 5.
