Assessment methods and criteria

A separate framework for evaluation is used. The evaluation of the study unit emphasizes knowledge base and ethical approach as well as cooperation in particular.

The numerical grade (5-1) of the course is determined by the weighted average of the exam (Methods for Research and Development Work 3 cr and English 2 cr).

The entire exam area will be carried out in the re-exams.
Evaluation of the Methods for Research and Development Work (methods section) exam
Total score of the exam (%) converting to the grade of the exam (5-0):
100-90 % -> 5
80-89 % -> 4
70-79 % -> 3
60-69 % -> 2
50-59 % -> 1
< 50 % -> 0.

A failed course implementation includes two opportunities to retake the exam and a passed
implementation includes one opportunity to raise the grade at places and dates specified for
the course. The same assessment criteria and principles are followed in retakes and attempts
to raise grades as those observed during the course performance. The opportunity to retake
an exam or raise a grade does not apply to course components. (Degree Regulations of Metropolia University of Applied Sciences Ltd, Section 37 Retaking exams and raising grades.)
