Student Assessment
Description
Course attendance is obligatory and assessment is continuous, having formative and summative character. Formative evaluation is based on coursework and presentation (Design and develop an educational material based on specific criteria and learning objectives. Present your designed material to the class, explaining your design decisions and evaluation results). Summative evaluation is based on the development of a portfolio of educational materials initially designed and created within the course and a written essay in which students analyze an existing educational material using a chosen framework and discuss its strengths, weaknesses, and potential improvements.
Student Assessment methods
- Written Assignment (Formative, Summative)
- Performance / Staging (Formative, Summative)
- Labortatory Assignment (Formative, Summative)
