Grading

The grades are based on the academic quality of the summary and reflection. An excellent (grades 4-5) essay critically reflects the contents of the lectures to own PhD work possibly drawing on external sources for further argumentation. An good written task critically reflects the content of the lecture and discussion drawing on academic argumentation (grade 3). A satisfactory essay summarises contents and presents some personal thinking that is not backed with academic argumentation (grades 1-2). A failed essay clearly lacks content, or merely lists content without presenting any personal thinking.
