Arviointimenetelmät ja arvioinnin perusteet

The student´s learning process in the study unit consists of recorded lectures and related quick quizzes and a written essay in each five sections and lastly a self-evaluation of one´s own learning process.

The student studies the contents of the five sections individually in the predetermined order within the given study period.

Quick quizzes in each five sections are assessed by using a scale of Pass or Fail. The small-scale essays in sections 1 to 4 are commented by two peer students and assessed by the teacher by using a scale of (0) 1 to 5, and each of them contributes 10% to the overall grade of the study unit. The last section 5 consists of a longer analytical essay, which is assessed only by the teacher by using a scale of (0) 1 to 5 and which contributes 60 % to the overall grade of the study unit.

After completing studying the contents of the five sections, the student is required to write a self-evaluation of one´s own learning process. This final assignment is assessed by using a scale of Pass or Fail.

The responsible use of AI and references is taken into account in assessing the small-scale essays as well as the final paper. The weighting factor of the responsible use of AI and references varies 20 - 33% of the grade. Turnitin plagiarism programme is used in all written assignments.
