Knowledge & Insight

• Knowledge and insight with the correct breadth and depth of the IT lifecycle phases: Analysis, Advise, Design, Realisation and Manage & Control.
• Level of assignment complexity and independence and own contribution the assignment asks for.
• An above-average complex assignment, an assignment in a complex setting, or an assignment where the student has shown more than average independence leads to a higher assessment.

Analysis / Problem definition

• Clear definition and scoping of the context, problem or challenge.
• Problem analysis with appropriate breadth and depth.

Additional explanation

• Student can argue who the stakeholders are and how they are involved in his project.

Advise

• Correct balancing of interests, possibilities, costs and benefits.
• Format and content appropriate to assignment and context.

Additional explanation

• The project plan provides advice on project approach, scope and design.
• Advice can be given throughout the internship or graduation project and be recorded in various professional products. For example, in a research report, blog, or as minutes of a sprint review.
• Regarding the thesis or internship report: the chapter "Recommendations" contains advices for after the project.
• Regarding portfolio: the reading guide clarifies which professional products have an advice component.

Design

• Format and content appropriate to assignment and context.
• In line with analysis and advice and sufficiently elaborated for realisation.

Additional explanation

• The most important design decisions are substantiated.

Realisation

• Matches the design.
• Scope and quality appropriate to the problem definition and context.
• Useful to client.

Additional explanation

• In all cases, a (partially) functioning IT product was realised within the project. This can be as a prototype (for more complex problems) or a working (partial) product.

Manage & Control

• Method and tooling arranged for professional performance, appropriate for the assignment.
• Worked according to arranged method and tooling.

Additional explanation

• This concerns both the design and implementation of the IT process from a management perspective (for example with a scrum approach) and more technical processes such as version management.

Judgement

• Draws up appropriate research and sub-questions.
• Applies methods within the appropriate research strategies correctly, with taking care for validity and reliability.
• Reports own work methodically and substantively with the research cycle.

Additional explanation

• The student shows investigative attitude during the entire project and this is not limited to a certain project phase or aspect.
• Research questions can be dynamic during the course of the research project.

• Not every choice requires the same degree of thoroughness of research.

Communication

• Reports orally and writing about an assignment carried out at a company or institution, expresses in a clear, structured text and sets out his views.
• Collaborates effectively with professionals in a company or institution.

Additional explanation

• With thesis or internship report, the thesis or report must be independently understandable and meet the usual document standards (including structure, table of contents, summary, references).
• For portfolio grading, the reading guide must be independently understandable and meet all document standards.
• The other professional products must be sufficiently comprehensible for the reader who is familiar with the relevant domain.
• The student can compensate for a lesser documentation competence through an oral explanation. A minimum level of written communication remains necessary (text must be unambiguous for peers in the relevant domain).

Learning Ability

• Describes professional talents and development ambitions in relation to the IT profession.
• Uses self-reflection and received feedback to improve own functioning in the IT profession.
• Takes initiatives, takes an independent position, and works independently and result-oriented on the professional assignment.

Additional explanation

• In thesis or internship report, evaluation should reflect on learning experiences during the project.
• For portfolio grading, reflection and learning capacity must be demonstrated in the reading guide or in a separate product referred to.
