Evaluation conditions (participation and/or pass)
Conditions The evaluation consists of several parts. To pass this course, each student: has to obtain at least 8/20 for all parts of the evaluation (the written exam and the evaluation during the teaching period). has to obtain a "Pass" for the IP-assignment. In case of "Fail", the student the possibility to send in an updated version of this assignment within the teaching period. has to contribute sufficiently to the group assignment.
Consequences A student who obtains a score lower than 8/20 on one or more parts of the evaluation (the written exam and/or the evaluation during the teaching period), will receive a 'F-Fail' as final result. This final result is not tolerable. A student who scores at least 8/20 for all parts of the evaluation receives as score a weighted average of the different scores. This final mark is tolerable. Eg. 8/20 + 16/20 = 12/20 (passed). A student who possibly has participated significantly less in the group assignment than the other group members, will follow the free-riding behavior process as explained on Blackboard. During this process, the student will receive a temporary score X (no exam grade available). If free-riding behavior is identified, the student will receive F (fail) as final score for the course, and 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 or had received a tolerable mark.
Additional information

Written evaluation during teaching period (30%): Written assignment. The group work also includes peer evaluation (see below).

Oral evaluation during teaching period (30%): Presentation (20%) + Q & A (10%) about the entire content. The group work also includes peer evaluation (see below).

When working in team, sufficient input from each student is expected. Peer evaluation is done by the Buddycheck program on Blackboard. For each student, the score of the group work will be multiplied by the factor that is calculated by this program. The method of calculation and the way this process works, is further explained on Blackboard. If there is a potentially significant smaller contribution, the process regarding free-riding behavior will be started.


Second examination period

Evaluation second examination opportunity different from first examination opprt
Yes
Explanation (English)The written exam can be redone in resit. The presentation will be replaced by an individual alternative assignment.
