Evaluation scale

Hyväksytty/Hylätty

Assessment criteria, satisfactory (1)

Clinical Microbiology and Clinical Laboratory Examinations:
See the attachment "Framework for evaluation criteria of competence"

Finnish as a Second Language:
The student can communicate in their most typical general and field-specific professional situations in working life. The student can write simple texts with a reasonable amount of consistency. There may be errors, but the message comes across nevertheless. The student takes part in simple interaction, but often needs help from other speakers. The student is comfortable with everyday vocabulary and the vocabulary of their own field, but inaccuracies and the influence of other languages may make it difficult to get the message across. The student uses the commonest basic structures in a one-sided way and sometimes incorrectly. The student can pronounce understandably but not like a native, and the slowness makes it difficult to assess how well the message may get across.

Assessment criteria, good (3)

Clinical Microbiology and Clinical Laboratory Examinations:
See the attachment "Framework for evaluation criteria of competence"

Finnish as a Second Language:
The student can communicate reasonably well in their daily general and field-specific professional situations in working life. The student is able to write a text with coherent content, getting the message across, and is proactive in interaction in common situations in the field. The student is reasonably fluent in basic vocabulary of their field and general language. Word choices may sometimes be inaccurate and the sentence structures imperfect, but these do not interfere with the communication. The student pronounces understandably, and pauses in the flow of speech do not prevent the message from getting across.

Assessment criteria, excellent (5)

Clinical Microbiology and Clinical Laboratory Examinations:
See the attachment "Framework for evaluation criteria of competence"

Finnish as a Second Language:
The student can communicate in versatile and demanding general and field-specific professional situations in working life. The student can write clear and detailed text in a way that is suitable and accurate for the situation. The student takes an active part in interaction in a way that is appropriate in professional situations. The student speaks fluently and effortlessly and takes into account the other speakers. The student uses general vocabulary and the vocabulary in their own field in a versatile way, making very few grammatical errors. The student pronounces clearly and the speech sounds natural.
