Group assignment - individually assessed.
The groups will be evaluated based on the following parameters:

- The game concept is strongly linked to the unique aspects of the controller.
- The game utilizes the unique aspects of the controller in an innovative way.
- The game looks polished and clear.
- The application of the controller works and is a significant part of the game.
The division of tasks among team members must be clearly stated in the initial presentation.
Individual assessment will be based on this information.
In Emergent (Game) Interfaces, the following agreements apply:
- The student is responsible for seeking regular feedback and incorporating it into their work.
- Deadlines are strictly adhered to unless approved by the instructor.

Participation in the first exam opportunity is a requirement to be eligible for the resit because process evaluation is an essential part of the assessment.
Students who receive a failing grade in the "group work" component during the first exam session must complete an individual replacement assignment for the resit.
Specific information about the assignment will be communicated on Toledo.
There will be no (process) guidance during the second exam session.
The workshops/studios cannot be accessed during the summer break.
There is limited availability for borrowing materials.
