Assessment criteria, good (3)

The achievement of learning outcomes will be measured primarily by timed tests. Each student will build a switched network in the networking technology's learning laboratory. After the completion of given tasks, the student is allowed to progress to the next stage. The achievement of the learning outcomes will also be measured by a web-based multiple-choice module and final exams. Assessment scale: Excellent (5), good (4-3), satisfactory (2-1), fail (0)
