Assessment methods and criteria
Jokaisesta aihealueesta on Moodle-tentti (muodostuu puolet kurssin arvosanasta). Moodle-tenteistä voi saada yhteensä maksimissaan 150 pistettä. Kurssin lopuksi opiskelija tekee kampuksella EXAM-tentin, jonka maksimipistemäärä on 150 pistettä. EXAM-tentistä pitää saada vähintään 50 pistettä. Exam-tentissä on yksi uusintamahdollisuus.
