Evaluation methods and criteria

Osaamisen arviointi perustuu opetussuunnitelmien tavoitekuvauksiin ja opinnon toteutussuunnitelmalla ilmoitettavaan arviointikriteeristöön (Laurean tutkintosääntö).

Opiskelijan, joka ei ole suorittanut hyväksytyksi opintojakson läpäisemiseksi asetettuja tehtäviä tai tenttejä, tulee täydentää tai uusia suorituksensa opintojakson opettajan määrittelemällä tavalla ja opettajan määrittelemässä ajassa. Hylätyn tentin tai muun suorituksen voi uusia kaksi kertaa. Varsinaiseen tenttiin osallistumatta jättäminen lasketaan yhdeksi suorituskerraksi. (Laurean tutkintosääntö.)

Kaikkien Laurean toimijoiden odotetaan noudattavan hyviä tieteellisiä käytänteitä, joihin kuuluu asianmukainen lähteisiin viittaaminen. Perehdy ja kysy käytänteistä tarvittaessa. Kaikki opintotehtävät tehdään yksilötyönä, jollei tehtävässä ole muuta ohjeistettu. Urkundin käytöstä tehtävien tarkistuksen yhteydessä opettaja kertoo erikseen.

Opinnon arvioinnissa käytetään amk-tutkinto-opiskelijan osaamisen arviointikehikon vaatimustason II mukaisia kriteereitä. (not translated)
