Further on evaluation

(the information may be changed until June 15th)

Portfolio assessment is the only form of assessment. During the semester, students will receive assignments with submissions almost every week. The work will consist of practical exercises using GIS and theoretical tests, and students will receive feedback on these (formative assessment). Guidance will be provided in the form of practice guidance in the classroom and meetings, as well as via digital discussion forums.

Students will receive points for submitted work. The better the work is done - the more points. Points are given using an assessment matrix. A certain number of points will be required to progress in the course. The work constitutes the mandatory teaching that must be approved. A certain number of points (the sum of points from the work) is necessary to have the work approved and thus access to the exam. The number of points required for progression in the course and to gain access to the exam will be announced at the start of the semester. At the start of the semester, it will also be announced which works are included in the portfolio. The exam is a portfolio that is completed as a take-home exam. During the exam period, students work on improving the work included in the portfolio.

There is individual submission and students work with individual geographic data (such as data from each municipality). No grouping is arranged, but students have the same problems and collaboration in groups is encouraged.

In the portfolio assessment, grades are not given for the various works along the way, but feedback is given (formative assessment). The content of the portfolio is improved versions of the submitted works, in the form of maps, text and possibly tables, diagrams and other things that have been part of the works. One final grade is given (summative assessment).
