Assessment criteria, satisfactory (1)

Participation in the course is very low. Performance is narrow, superficial, or poorly matched to as-signment. The performance is limited to listing things of arts-based and community-based research strategies and methods in isolation, or dealing with things unilaterally. Execution may contain errors or ambiguities.

Assessment criteria, good (3)

Participation in the course is regular. Performance corresponds to assignment, demonstrates under-standing and the ability to analyze and justify. The whole picture of arts-based and community-based research strategies has been formed, but there may be shortcomings.

Assessment criteria, excellent (5)

Participation in the course is active. The performance outlines a broad entity and the knowledge of arts-based and community-based research strategies and methods can be applied multidimensionally or placed in different contexts. Performance demonstrates independent grip and insight. Performance is an intact entity that includes justified self-thinking or critical reflection. The essay is well written.
