Peer Assessment: Students assess the contribution to the group process of the individual members of their group. On that basis, the individual digits of the student is calculated according to the formula: group peer assessment rating x factor = invidual assessment. Thus, the student obtains an individual score that may be higher, equal or lower than the product of his group, depending on the performance of the student in the project.

All evaluation criteria of all assessment forms are oraly explained and included in the student manual.

The number of questions in the oral exam is determined to the feasibility within the time foreseen. It is clearly indicated which part of the learning content the exam focuses on.
