satisfactory (1-2) I have successfully completed two external special small online courses related to supercomputers defined in the course and submitted the certificates I received from them according to the instructions given to the course instructor. But, with the special practice task related to the course, I show that I can practically master the things I learned in the online courses only by relying heavily on the background materials and instructions. good (3-4) I have successfully completed two external special small online courses related to supercomputers defined in the course and submitted the certificates I received from them according to the instructions given to the course instructor. With the special practice task related to the course, I show that I have a good command of the things I learned in the online courses in practice. excellent (5) I have successfully completed two external special small online courses related to supercomputers defined in the course and submitted the certificates I received from them according to the instructions given to the course instructor. With the special practice task related to the course, I show that I can master the things I learned in the online courses fluently and in a progressive manner. |
