Exam schedules

no exams

Assessment methods and criteria

Grading is based on reports written about the laboratory measurements. A total of 4 reports are written as group work. Each report is graded on a a scale of 0-5. If the grade is 0 you will have to revise your report. The final grade is the average of all reports.

Assessment scale

0-5

Teaching methods

Laboratory work, independent report writing, guidance for reporting

Learning materials

Lab and reporting instructions in Moodle

Student workload

Laboratory class 4 x 3h
Theory class about 10 h
Independent work on reports ~40 h

Content scheduling

Laboratory class biweekly on dates: 16.1., 30.1., 13.2., 5.3.
Reports are due 2 weeks from the laboratory measurement.

Exam schedules

No exams

Assessment methods and criteria

Labs 1 - 4 Grading: 0...5
- 2 individual reports/person or 4 reports per pair.
Lab 5 Own designed lab Grading 0...5
- Presentation
Delivery times:
- 2 working weeks from the date of the measurements
- a delay will affect negatively on the grading

Evaluation is based on the of the grades of the laboratory works. Each report is evaluated based on the work in the laboratory, results and the report (report is the most important one).
Participation to measurement classes and presentations is compulsory.
Detailed evaluation, see in Moodle

If reports from several students are found to copies of each other (even partially), all those reports are disqualified, and students involved will need to perform new measurements for different laboratory assignments and write new reports from those measurements.
