Assessment 1. Veto: Absolute compliance to Class Policy, i.e. ITB University vision (EDIR).
2. 60%: Written test, i.e. quiz and tests (mid-semester and final): (i) Effectiveness of answer (i.e.
answer should appear in the first sentence), (ii) Use of appropriate terms as that appear in
scientific literatures, (iii) Effectiveness of use of sketches and call outs, (iv) Writing rules
(accuracy in punctuation, grammar, and spelling).
3. 30%: Essay or short article writing, i.e. assignments, exercises: (i) Compliance to standard
template or effectiveness of lay out, (ii) Mechanical convention (i.e. accuracy of writing,
punctuation, spelling, grammar), (iii) Structure/organization of ideas, (iv) Content and
development, (v) Critical thinking.
4. 10%: Judgements, e.g. appreciation of compliance to class policy,
Remark Passing grade: Mastery/compliance of 50% of assessment.
Grading: top quartile A
