Learning methods and activities

The course is project- and laboratory-oriented and develops practical capabililties through experiments, programming, modelling, testing and evaluation.

Collaborative group effort combined with lectures and participant work experience enables multidisciplinary methods and student-driven learning.

Further on evaluation

The exam is portfolio assessment and consists of the following:

  • Two individual assignments that each count ¼ of the portfolio. Each of the assignments can include both programming, multiple choice answers, and open texts.
  • One group assignment that counts 1/2 of the portfolio. The group assignment consists of an implementation project and a project report.

All assignments must be submitted in Inspera. In the group assignment, the students must create and submit an agreement and a self-declaration on cooperation and each student's own effort. Everyone in the group gets the same score for the joint answer. Each part of the portfolio is given points between 0 and 100. Letter grade is given individually on the total portfolio and on the basis of points and weighting of the parts included.
