Assessment
The four parts that contribute to your final grade are:

• Individual work:
  • Feedback reports: 10%
  • Weekly mini-tests: 15%
  • Final exam: 25%

• Team work:
  • Term project:
    • Phase 1: 15%
    • Phase 2: 25%
  • Weekly lab-hour assignments: 10 %

Bonus points:

• Winner team: The teams that receive highest grade from peer-feedback will receive 1 grade point as a bonus for their phase 2 report.
• Winner feedback reports: The feedback reports will be evaluated by the teams, each team will choose the best feedback they have received. These students will receive 1 grade point as a bonus for their feedback reports.

Repair tests:

• Final exam. It is possible to repair the final exam grade up to 5.5, but only if 4.0<= final exam grade < 5.5.
• Feedback reports. It is not possible to repair the feedback reports.
• Project. It is not possible to repair the project. However, if you pass the requirements of the individual assignments of the course, you will be exempt from them when you re-take the course and will only be responsible for the project.
• Weekly mini-tests: There will be 5 mini-tests in total, with 10 points for each. Your final grade will be calculated from the 4 most successful tests. If you miss one test, that will not affect your grade. You may take a test with a delay, i.e. as long as you do it within one week of the deadline, with a delay penalty of 2 points.

If you were unable to take the final exam, due to circumstances beyond your control, you will get the opportunity to do a repair test, provided you have reported the situation as soon as can be expected via an email to all the teachers as well as the study advisor. 

You cannot do a repair test if you missed more than one assessment, e.g. the final exam, and the group assignment (phase 1 or 2), or the final exam and the feedback report assignment.
