Evaluation scale

0-5

Content scheduling

Opintojakson aluksi käydään konesalien perusteet läpi. Opintojakso sisältää asiantuntijaluentoja ja ekskursioita eri tyyppisiin konesaleihin. Ennen itseopiskeluviikkoa käynnistetään harjoitustyö, jossa suunnitellaan konesalitoteutus 2-3 hengen ryhmissä. Työ esitellään seminaarissa jakson lopussa. Jakson lopussa pidetään myös tentti.

2. Tentti (40%) 18p
3. Ekskursiot, (lisäpisteitä kohteittain)
4. Vierailijaluennot (lisäpisteitä osallistumisesta)

Lisäpisteet vierailuista ja vierailijaluennoista.
maksimissaaan 20%. Pisteet lasketaan yhteen taulukkolaskennalla ja hyväksymisraja on 45% maksimipisteistä (kohdat 1 ja 2). Arvosana määräytyy tasajaolla 45% ja 100% väliltä. Esim. 51% pisteistä antaa ykkösen ja esim. 80 % pisteistä antaa arvosanan 5.
