Assessment criteria - satisfactory (1-2) (Not in use, Look at the Assessment criteria above)

Knowledge of the most essential phenomena and related quantities and units in the field. Capability to analyse qualitatively and quantitatively simple cases related phenomena similar to discussed examples, when supported.
Exercises and and modellings have been done. Results have been reported and presented in the seminar.
Structure and analyses can have shortages and can be be partly erroneous.

Assessment criteria - good (3-4) (Not in use, Look at the Assessment criteria above)

In addition capability to apply the modelling principles to new situations. Fluent usage of the terminology for justified qualitative and quantitative analysis of the phenomena.
Reports done in a normal way. Results and analysis correct. Brief comments done.

Assessment criteria - excellent (5) (Not in use, Look at the Assessment criteria above)

In addition excellent, versatile ability to analyse phenomena qualitatively and quantitaively with a realistic knowledge of the limitations related to theories in use.
Reports done with comprehensive, active, collaborative working. Results are correct. Structured, fluent, especially transparent text, vision of limitations and improvements, broad mature discussion and own conclusions related to the topics.
