Further on evaluation

The student group's final work (the project report and the process report) is assessed according to the grade scale A-F. The group gets one common grade. The project report counts for 50%, and the process report counts for 50% of the final grade. In the case of a "failed" grade, the entire course must be taken again.

All students in the group project will normally receive the same grade based on the group answer. In special cases where a student has not contributed sufficiently, the student can be given an individual grade based on a documented lack of effort and/or workload.
