    Assessment criteria
    Assessment criteria - grade 1 and 2
    Adequate 1
    The theory of the subject matter as summarised by the student is appropriate for the subject matter or work role, but it does not form an overall view. The student describes and distinguishes essential concepts. The student outlines a development project. The student finds a partial solution to the problem but is unable to illustrate the results. Matters are discussed in a list-like and summarising manner. Independent thinking is lacking. The reporting follows JAMK’s reporting instructions partially.

    Satisfactory 2
    The student applies theory within the subject matter, limited from the perspective of the subject matter or work role. The student has selected and defined the essential concepts.
