Assessment criteria, satisfactory (1)

Arvosana 2

Kokonaisuus ei ole tasapainoinen. Opiskelija ei pysty hahmottamaan monia öljyvärimaalaustekniikan perusideoita eikä sen vuoksi pysty täysin soveltamaan oppimaansa käytännön työhön. Työskentelytavat ovat haparoivia ja puutteita ilmenee aikaisemmin opitun tiedon osalta.
Maalatun työn osalta kokonaisuus on huolimaton, työskentely ei ole ollut itsenäistä ja on ollut paljon tarvetta lehtorin lisäohjaukselle opintojakson aikana. Kokonaisuus on sellainen josta näkyy, että siihen ei ole paneuduttu kunnolla.

Arvosana 4
Hyvä ja tasapainoinen kokonaisuus. Asiat etenivät opintojaksolla johdonmukaisesti. Opiskelija hahmottaa opintojaksolla opetetut öljyvärimaalauksen materiaalit ja tekniikat ja osaa soveltaa oppimaansa käytännön työhön. Osallistuminen tehtäviin on ollut aktiivista.

Käytännön työn osalta kokonaisuuden tulee olla onnistunut ja työ on kiitettävää tasoa, työskentely on ollut riittävän itsenäistä mutta on ollut hieman tarvetta lehtorin lisäohjaukselle.

Assessment criteria, excellent (5)

Minimum level (1) requirements
The student has restricted knowledge or has not coherently demonstrated theoretical and methodological insight. The capacity to formulate the relevant problems associated with the work is limited, little independence and critical evaluation is demonstrated. The analysis, documentation and interpretation are performed in a less satisfactory manner. The structure of the work is unclear and the application of terminology, language and references inadequate. Where relevant the practical work is below a satisfactory standard or insufficient.
