Final Exam

Exam 22.10 from 09-13

Proving ground: Lectures and exercises.

Course evaluation: 1/3 of the course grade consists of exercise points. Every week, 3 exercises are returned, or at least a blank piece of paper with the student’s name and student number. During exercise sessions, the tasks on the other two exercise tasks are listed.

Scoring: 3 points / return problem, 1 point or 2 points / whiteboard. Presenting the correct solution gives you 3 points, and defective solution gives you 1 point. You will need to get 50% of the exercise points or return 10 completely correctly calculated recovery tasks in order to take the final exam. Return to the 2nd floor compartment (in the Learning Lab lobby) by 4pm on the previous Friday at the latest or by email. If the student fails to return the assignment (even the blank paper) 2 times, his / her right to take the course exam will be forfeited. The rest of the grade is determined by test points.

Content of the course:

Duration: Lectures 11.9.2019 – 18.10.2019

Time in the study timing model: 2nd year Prerequisites: Basic physics studies (25 ECTS), especially electromagnetism and electro-dynamics Content: The course covers basic measuring instruments, measurement systems, various sources of error and error handling of results. The course is a compulsory course in subject studies. The course information can be used in subject studies in laboratory work.

Requirements: Exercises and final exam
