| Evaluation conditions (participation and/or pass) | ✔ |
|
| Conditions | All coaching and training sessions are obligatory
The Opinno and Biobizz sessions are obligatory
All assignments have to be scored with 'Pass'; BEN students also have to pass the valorization assignment.
The evaluation consists of multiple components. For all parts of the evaluation, at least a score of 10/20 must be obtained in order to pass the course.
A student should be scientific critical in the review of research proposals submitted by fellow students and their presentation and defense of the proposed research.
For the coaching sessions and final grant submission, clear deadlines are communicated, e.g. for: pre-application, written proposal for coaching sessions, peer review forms, presentations for coaching session, final written proposal, presentation finale defense. Students are expected to strictly respect all deadlines. |
|
|
|
| Consequences | Students who are unauthorized absent at one or more coaching/training sessions, receive N (unauthorized absence) as final grade for the course.
A student who achieves a score lower than 10/20 on one (or more) parts of the evaluation will receive F (fail) as a final result for the course.
Students who miss more than one deadline without an approved justification will receive an "N" (unauthorized absence) as their final grade for the course.
If the critical review of the research proposal, presentation and defense of a fellow student is unsufficient according to the criteria on Blackboard, the student will receive F (fail) as a final score for the course in the first chance exams. The student will receive an alternative assignment during the second-chance exam period. The results of the other evaluation parts can be retained for the second-chance exam if the student has passed (at least 10/20) these parts. |

| Remarks |
| |
The content of this course is master specific, as is the associated senior internship and master's thesis. This means that when registering for another master's specialisation, grant writing (4143), senior internship (4153) and master's thesis (4151) have to be part of the academic program of this specialisation (no exemption). |
