Further on evaluation
The portfolio consists of a predefined number (3-10) of theoretical and project assignments. The portfolio contains assignments that are carried out, digitally documented and submitted during the term. Both individual and team assignments may be given. Assignments are designed to help students achieve specific course learning outcomes, and formative feedback is given during the period of the portfolio. The assessment is an overall evaluation of the portfolio.
Specific conditions
Admission to a programme of study is required.
