Assessment

Assessment

The Preparation FMP is concluded with a competence assessment at the Department of Industrial Design. The assessment of the Preparation FMP consists of two parts, the project and the proposal part.

Deliverables

  • Project:
    • Deliverables:
      • Demonstrator (as presented on the demo day).
      • Report of learning activities - project report (maximum 5000 words)
      • Reflection on Competence and PIV development and learning outcomes towards the FMP
      • Presentation/Oral Exam
  • FMP Proposal:
    • Deliverables:
      • FMP Proposal and planning (maximum 3500 words)
      • Presentation/Oral Exam

The presentation/oral exam is a combined assessment meeting for both the project and FMP proposal at the end of the M21 semester.

You submit your work via Canvas. In case you fail to submit all your deliverables on Canvas (in time, before the assignment closes), you cannot be assessed and receive a NV (no show).

Examiners

You will be assessed by your graduation mentor an expert in the other area of expertise you have chosen. This panel will (in most cases*) be part of your graduation panel.

*In some situations, such as sabbatical, retirement, change of jobs or illness we may need to deviate from this procedure.

Assessment meeting

Presentation/Oral Exam

You will present an overview of your M21 project and competence development throughout the project and your FMP Proposal in approximately 20 minutes. The time spent on discussing the M21 project (including your competence development) and FMP proposal should be balanced, i.e., approximately 10 minutes each.

The assessment should evaluate the offered additional clarity and consistency in verbal communication to the written deliverables. The assessment will evaluate whether the students can provide additional clarification and consistency to the proposal writing.

It is your own responsibility to approach both examiners (and/or the secretaries) for planning your presentation/oral exam.

Assessment criteria

The Preparation FMP will be assessed using the assessment criteria mentioned in the Rubrics booklet.

The M21 project should be a completed learning experience and examiners should be able to assess the project as such (e.g. not only a user study, market analysis, or literature research).

Outcomes

The quality of the proposal will be assessed as sufficient or not (yet) sufficient.

The full credits of 20 ECTS will be granted after you have completed and passed both aspects of the Preparation FMP.

Verdicts

You will receive a verdict as a result for the Preparation FMP. The verdict as recorded in Osiris is binding.

  • Promotion with excellence (P+E): you are promoted with excellence and receive the assigned credits.
  • Promotion (P): you are promoted and receive the assigned credits.
  • Conditional pass (P+C): you are not promoted unless conditions are sufficiently met within a maximum of three weeks.
  • Hold (H): you are not promoted and do not receive ECTS.
  • No Show (NV): you did not show up or did not hand in all deliverables on Canvas in time.

Retakes

In case the proposal and or the project is/are not (yet) sufficient you can retake within three weeks after the verdict is communicated to you. In this case you need to update your report and/or proposal.  

You will deliver your retake on Canvas in a separate assignment. The maximum deadline for the retake is three weeks after the original verdict is recorded in Osiris.

If you fail the retake of the proposal, you can have an additional retake on the proposal part. The deadline of this additional retake will be in the exam weeks of quarter 3 (in case the original assessment was in quarter 2) or during the interim period (in case the original assessment was in quarter 4).
