Assessment
For successful completion of the course, the student is required to upload several practical assignments on Brightspace during the first block. In the second block, students must carry out a practical project and present their work in a scientific poster (assignment) and by writing a report (assignment). For some of the assignments, students may be required to hand in a peer review.
Assignments will be evaluated on a pass/fail basis. If the student does not pass an assignment, an opportunity will be given to resubmit the assignment. Per assignment, one resubmission is accepted. Because of the setup of this course, a resit is not possible.
Attendance at all classes is obligatory.
