Tenttien ja uusintatenttien ajankohdat

Exam Oct 12th 2018
Retakes: Nov 1st 2018 and Nov 20th 2018

Arviointimenetelmät ja arvioinnin perusteet

Evaluation is based on evaluation of
- Conceptual exercises (max 5p)
- Exercise sets (max 10p)
- Measurement report (max 5p)
- Exam (25p)
- The sum of the exam points has to be at least 9 points and the total sum with exercises at least 14 points.
Participation to class lectures is highly recommended.
In the exercise review classes the ability to explain and justify the solutions is evaluated. Absence from review classes or inability to explain or justify the solution can cut these points by -50 % max.
Participation to exams is compulsory.
Grading:
No regular studies no evaluation no retakes
0 - 13 points 0 2 retakes
14 - 20 points 1
21 - 26 points 2
27 - 32 points 3
33 - 38 points 4
39 - 45 points 5
