Evaluation Methodology
Assessment should not be the primary focus of learning. Rather, it should be regarded as a potential outcome of the learning process.
The assessment will take the form of an assessment portfolio.
Students will have the opportunity to accumulate up to 50% of their final grade through a variety of assessment methods, including monographs, reports, essays, reflections, and integration into applied research projects.
The relative weighting of each assessment moment is determined by the student, with guidance from the lecturer.
The objective is for the student to assume an active and responsible role in their assessment, within a limit that is considered both scientifically and pedagogically reasonable.
The continuous assessment will be based on the following components:
The final grade will be determined by the mark obtained in the class, which will be held on the last day of the semester. This will account for 50-100% of the overall mark.
- The presentation and discussion of practical work developed individually (or in groups) will contribute 0% to 50% to the overall mark.
It is recommended that observations be made.
The rationale behind the course is designed and will be developed for students who attend classes in person.
It is not permitted for any student to receive a mark below seven at any point during the period of continuous assessment.
