  Assessment criteria

  Assessment criteria - grade 1 and 2

  Adequate 1
  The theory of the subject matter as summarised by you is appropriate for the subject matter or work role, but it does not form an overall view. You describe and distinguish essential concepts. You outline a development project. You find a partial solution to the problem but are unable to illustrate the results. Matters are discussed by you in a list-like and summarising manner. Your independent thinking is lacking.
  
  Satisfactory 2
  You apply theory within the subject matter, limited from the perspective of the subject matter or work role. You have selected and defined the essential concepts. You design a development project. You find a partial solution to the problem. You illustrate the results. The examples demonstrate your understanding and your independent thinking, but the connections between theoretical knowledge and the examples are insufficient.

  Assessment criteria - grade 3 and 4

  Good 3
  You present theory that is relevant and delineated. You are able to follow and analyse the development and/or research in their field of expertise. You are able to analyse and structure theoretical information and concepts. You lead or plan a research, development or innovation initiative, applying new methods. You develop the operations of the organisation by finding alternative solutions to a problem. Theory and practice are combined through your own thinking.
  
  Very good 4
  You produce an overall view from the essential theories in the subject matter, which you reflect on in a critical manner. You are able to follow and analyse the development and international research in their field of expertise. You are able to consider the essential concepts in relation to each other. You lead or plan a research, development or innovation initiative that produces a solution for a practical problem. You demonstrate and justify the usability of your results. Your report is written in a consistent, justified and illustrative manner. It contains your reflection and criticism.

  Assessment criteria - grade 5

  Excellent 5
  You are able to create new information. You are able to follow and analyse the development and international research in the fields of expertise. You reflect on the matter at a social level. You are able to define the essential concepts related to the special competence of the field in relation to each other. You lead or plan a research, development or innovation initiative that produces and analyses new information and reforms the practices in complex and unpredictable operating environments. You utilise methods from research and development operations, and display creative thinking. Your report has created new perspectives or overall views by combining things in a new way. Your text displays the ability for critical thinking and the skill of communicating the results.
