Access to the Course
Compulsory Assignments and Attendance
Forms of Assessment
NANO100 is evaluated by portfolio assessment with four elements:
- Multiple-choice test, due to Coronavirus situation the test will be taken digital at home.
- Orientation and project
- Poster
- Oral presentation
In order to give the oral presentation the student must have approved participation in the mandatory activities, including compulsory attendance in lectures and colloquium, approved participation in the orientation with the research groups and approved participation in the work with their assigned research group. The portfolio is assessed as Passed/Failed. In order to obtain the grade "Passed" for the NANO100 course the student must pass all the individual portfolio elements, multiple-choice test, orientation and project, poster, and oral presentation.
The portfolio assessment elements are valid for the 2 successive years after the semester they were carried out.
For semesters without teaching and for students that have valid assessment elements for the orientation and project, poster, and oral presentation, there will be a written exam (2 h). The three above mentioned portfolio elements will be included in the basis of the grading.
