Teaching methods

Studing consist of two parts; theory and application. In the application part you demonstrate achieved learning goals via C++ project.

Completion alternatives

C++ project application, demonstration of skills.

Evaluation scale

H-5

Assessment methods and criteria

Evaluation is peformed using demonstration of skills, where students show the learning goals they have achieved. Each learning goal is evaluated using scale from 0 to 5.

Assessment criteria, fail (0)

Requirements for basic level are not achieved.

Assessment criteria, satisfactory (1-2)

Basic level: (1)

You know and understand what topics in learning goals are all about, and how they work.

Assessment criteria, good (3-4)

Advanced level: (3)

You know and understand what topics in learning goals are all about, and how they work.
You are able to apply topics mentioned in learning goals in one or several different cases, when compared to presented material in Moodle.

Assessment criteria, excellent (5)

Desirable level: (5)

You know and understand what topics in learning goals are all about, and how they work.
You are able to create at least one completely new solution using topics mentioned in learning goals or adapt them into at least one completely different situations, when compared to presented material in Moodle.
You are able to evaluate and give reasoning how things can, and should apply as you have done in new situations.
