Arviointimenetelmät ja arvioinnin perusteet

Both individual and group-based assignments will be assessed on a scale 1-5, which will determine the overall grade for the course. Active participation in lectures, independent tasks and company visits are required for passing the course and may influence the course grade. Late submissions may affect the course grade.
