Evaluation scale

0-5

Evaluation criteria, satisfactory (1-2)

Sufficient (1): Student identifies the basic structures in programming. Student is able to analyze simple issues, but designing solutions independently is challenging. Writing a program is difficult.

Satisfactory (2): Student knows the key basic structures and principles in programming. Student is able to analyze simple issues, design an implementation using existing models and present a rudimentary solution in programming language.

Evaluation criteria, good (3-4)

Good (3): Student knows the key principles and tools in programming. Student is able to analyze problems, design an implementation based on examples and present a solution using programming language. Student is able to evaluate and develop their skills.

Very good (4): Student knows the key principles in programming and is able to make effective use of software development tools. Student is able to independently analyze problems, design implementation and present a solution using programming language.

Evaluation criteria, excellent (5)

Excellent (5): Student masters the key principles and tools in programming. Student is able to independently analyze demanding problems, design creative solutions and implement a solution using programming language.
