Evaluation

Evaluation: Smart Factory Design (B-KUL-B79476)

Type : Partial or continuous assessment with (final) exam during the examination period
Description of evaluation : Written, Presentation, Participation during contact hours
Type of questions : Open questions


Final score (/20) = C1 x P1 + C2 x P2

Cx are the weight factors and Px the scores (/20)

P1: written exam on theory 
P2: workshop participation and assignment report/presentation
C1 = 60%, C2 = 40%

Written exam to redetermine the P1 score (analogue to first examination period).  Half of the P2 score is transferred to the second examination period. The other half will be determined by a practical exercise related to the project.
