Overall the achieved competence is sufficient but narrow. This means the student is familiar with the basic concepts discussed during the course but often makes mistakes when applying them. Can perform the laboratory measurements and experiments independently and has basic skills in reporting the results of the measurements and experiments. Overall knows the courses of action but cannot justify his/her choices. Completion of the tasks is based on routine and pre-learned performance. Student can give and receive feedback, and considers and assesses things from his/her viewpoint. Student can work in a group and recognizes his/her interaction skills. Student takes responsibility for his/her own work.
Overall the achieved competence is structural. This means that the student is familiar with the concepts discussed during the course and can apply them in most of the situations. Is fluent in the basic concepts and phenomena related to the subjects discussed during the course and can solve model exercise and new exercises correctly. Can perform laboratory measurements and experiments independently and the reporting of the laboratory results shows that the student can to apply the theoretical knowledge in explaining the results. Overall student is able to select appropriate course of action from diverse options, can make plans and apply his/her knowledge when solving problems and can justify the choices. Student can give and receive constructive feedback and considers and assesses things both from his/her and the close community's viewpoint. Cooperates and is ready to develop his/her interaction skills. Student recognizes and follows the important courses of action in the field. Student takes responsibility and commits to the group activities in addition to his/her own work.
Overall the achieved competence is wide. This means that student is fluent in the basic concepts and phenomena related to the subjects discussed during the course. Can solve model exercise and new exercises correctly, shows creativity in solving tasks and can perform simple laboratory measurements and experiments independently. The reporting of the laboratory results shows that the student can apply the theoretical knowledge in explaining the results. Overall student is able to search for diverse courses of action and solution alternatives, justify his/her choices, try new courses of action and assess diverse solution alternatives. Student uses feedback systematically as a professional growth tool in his/her own work and the community. Can cooperate responsibly, flexibly and constructively, and develops his/her own and the group's interaction. Student takes responsibility and commits to the group activities in addition to his/her own work.

All lecture materials and laboratory instructions are available in Tabula. In addition, there are several good sources available for learning more about the water and wastewater engineering. One very thorough one is a book by George Tchobanoglous, 1987. We recommend you to use e-books available in TAMK library, for example a book by Stephenson and Stuetz, 2009 is a good source and can be accessed as an e-book.

Teach-in, field excursion, assignments,laboratory work, group work, exam
The course consists of lectures and discussions, exercises, field excursion of which students write report, compulsory laboratory exercise (follow up of a pilot wastewater treatment plant during a study-period: periodical sampling, sample analyses) and exam. The course grade is formed taking into consideration the achievements from assignment and the exam, quality of laboratory report and activity and interest shown throughout the course.

a. Exam and/or laboratory exercises have not been completed.
b. Despite participating in the laboratory exercises and the exam, the achieved competence is insufficient.
This means that, in spite of doing some of the assignments and being able to perform laboratory measurements and experiments under supervision, the student has not shown that they know the basic concepts discussed during the course, or has not shown sufficient skills in reporting the results of the measurements and experiments.
