Evaluation
Evaluation: Lifelong Movement: a Pedagogical-Didactical Perspective (B-KUL-L25O4a)
Explanation
The evaluation of this OPO is a written exam during the examination period and permanent evaluation based on interim assignments that the student makes via the Toledo digital learning platform. The student receives a numerical score for the written exam. The student also receives a numerical score for the interim assignments. Failure to take the written exam or failure to submit interim assignments for the submission deadlines will result in an NA (not taken). Deadlines will be announced on Toledo.
OPO final result calculation:
Open questions and multiple choice questions are used. For the multiple choice questions, no correction for guessing is applied.
The score for the written exam counts for 12 out of 20 points for the final result of this OPO. The score for the interim assignments counts for 8 of the 20 points of the final result of this OPO. The student must score sufficient for both the written exam and the interim assignments to be able to pass this OPO. If the student fails on one or more partial scores, the final result of this OPO is a maximum of 9/20. If the student fails on one or more partial scores, the calculated final score is rounded down (eg 9.67 becomes 9).
