    Assessment criteria
    Assessment criteria - grade 1
    The student has limited understanding of 3D and Blender. Meshes created are very simple and texturing is rudimentary.
    The student has satisfactory skills to produce small, textured meshes and rendered scenes in Blender.
    The student shows satisfactory activity and initiative in learning process.
    Assessment criteria - grade 3
    The student knows partly the Blender application. Meshes created are more complex and have good texturing.
    The student has good skills to produce intermediately complex meshes and scenes.
    The student shows activity and initiative in learning process. He/she is willing to develop his/her 3D skills further.
    Assessment criteria - grade 5
    The student understands the Blender system to a large extent and can produce complex and well textured meshes.
    The student shows activity and initiative in learning process. He/she is willing to develop his/her 3D skills further.
    The student shows excellent activity and initiative in the learning process. He/she is independently taking his/her skills further using other online tutorials than those in the course.
