Assessment
The final assessment has both a formative and a summative component. First the students will be evaluated based on their achievements in group-based lab activities. Students that score at least 60% in the formative assessment can take the summative exam, where each student will give a presentation about one of the projects developed in the lab, chosen randomly at the end of the course. Following the presentation, students will answer questions about their project, results, or lectures.
Formative Assessment:
Form % Length/duration ILO assessed
Practical (Prc) 50% 5 projects, 24 hours in total 4,5,6,7,8
Summative Assessment:
Form % Length/duration ILO asses
Presentation (Prs) 10% 10 min 5,9,10
Oral (Orl) 40% 2 open-questions 1,2,3,4,5,6,8,9,10,11
Students who score less than 60% in the formative assessment have still a chance to demonstrate their programming skills by taking a practical exam where they will set up the hardware and implement a random project from the lab activities within four hours. A score higher than 60% will grant access to the summative examination.
Evaluation criteria
The final grade is assigned considering the following criteria, independently:
• correctness of the developed solution (Prc);
• completeness of the developed solution (Prc);
• readability of the developed solution (Prc);
• appropriate use of measurement units (Prc, Prs, Orl);
• ability to establish relationships between topics (Prs, Orl);
• ability to provide examples/applications of the theoretical concepts (Prs, Orl);
• ability to summarize, evaluate, and presenting the results (Prs, Orl);
• clarity and correctness of answers (Prs, Orl);
• mastery of technical language (Prs, Orl);
