Evaluation scale

0 - 5

Assessment criteria, excellent (5)

Assessment criteria, good (3)

The students have a detailed understanding of the main themes. They are aware of the role of the regulatory systems of the body and are able to perform basic measurements of main body functions but their analyses and interpretation of the results requires more practice.

Assessment criteria, satisfactory (1)

The student is aware of the main themes in general. The structure of the locomotor and cardiovascular systems are known but they lack an understanding of how these systems work with other organ systems. The student is able to perform basic measurements of main body functions but there are shortcomings in analyses and their interpretation is not very accurate.
