A digitizing management environment (5cr)

Evaluation methods and criteria

The course consists of two assignments, the total score of which determines the course grade. All assignments (including reflection and peer assessment) must be passed in order to receive a pass mark. The assessment of the course is based on the total number of marks for the assignments as follows:
1: 4-5 points
2: 6-9 points
3: 10-13 points
4: 14-17 points
5: 18-20 points

Learning tasks are assessed every 2-3 weeks. When you have successfully completed all the course assignments, you will receive a mark in Peppi.

Upgrade your grade or repeat a failed assignment:
For re-sits and upgrades, the course will follow the Jamk examination regulations. The examination regulations apply to the course in such a way that at the end of the number of times an individual assignment has been repeated (actual performance + two repeats), the student must re-enrol for the course. In other words, if Task 1 is not passable after three attempts, Task 2 will not be assessed and the student will receive a grade of 0 for the course.

If a student wishes to increase his/her grade, this is possible once within the framework of the examination regulations. The student will agree this with the teacher before the end of the course. He/she will describe in writing (by e-mail) to the teacher which part of the course he/she wishes to repeat and agree on a timetable. If the student does not return the assignments by the agreed deadline, the original grade will remain valid and no subsequent increase will be possible.
