Assessment criteria - fail (0) (Not in use, Look at the Assessment criteria above)

Student hasn't returned all required assignments, or student is unable to show adequate proficiency in noise and particle modelling. For example results from the modelling might be completely incorrect and out of this world.

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

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.

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

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 briefly commented.

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

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.
