Arviointikriteerit, tyydyttävä (1-2) (OJ)

Student is able to analyse simple noise and particle modelling cases both qualitatively and quantitatively. Student needs extra support to be able to complete given tasks. Exercises have been done, but results might be slightly erroneous.

Arviointikriteerit, hyvä (3-4) (OJ)

Student is able to use correct terminology and presents justified qualitative and quantitative analysis. Exercises are done completely, and results and analysis are correct. Results are at least briefly commented.

Arviointikriteerit, kiitettävä (5) (OJ)

Student shows the ability to do versatile qualitative and quantitative analysis. Student has a realistic knowledge of the limitations of the theoretical framework. Reports are comprehensive and well-structured. Student is able to show his or her own conclusions clearly.

Arviointimenetelmät ja arvioinnin perusteet

Grading is based on different exercises and partial grades from them as follows:
Calculation based exercise problems: 0-1
Modelling exercises done with the teacher: 0-1
Independent modelling exercise: 0-3
Noise measurement exercise: 0-1

Student's final grade is the sum of all exercises with banker's rounding. Smallest increment in partial grades is 0.1.

If the weather conditions don't allow for the measurements, the partial grade from the independent modelling exercise report will be scaled to be between 0-4.

Nothing on this course is mandatory. If the student doesn't participate in any of the activities, or their participation is minimal, they will be removed from the course.

It is not possible to update the grade after the course and all exercises have to be handed in before their announced deadlines.
