Objectives (course unit)
After completing this course student:
- knows the characteristics of different natural and industrial emissions to air, water and soil
- knows the dispersion and deposition processes of emissions
- knows the modelling systems of environmental pollution
Content (course unit)
Air, water and soil, noise and radiation pollution, practical exercises in measuring and monitoring emissions
Prerequisites (course unit)
All Physics courses, Basics for Environmental Technology and Management, Sustainable Industrial Production
Exam schedules
Week 11 and 17, unless otherwise announced.
Evaluation methods and criteria
Assessment is based on exercise sets, modelling exercise and report, seminar presentation and exams. For both portions of the course:
Exercises are graded from 0 to 5, where 40 % of problems correctly solved gives grade 1 and 90 % gives grade 5 (exercises are not mandatory)
1 written report is graded from 1-5 (have to pass, details about grading from teachers)
1 exam is graded from 1 (40 % of points) to 5 (90 % of points) (have to pass)
In addition the seminar presentation is graded from 1 to 5. Seminar presentation is mandatory and also you need to be present as an opponent for another student giving the presentation. If you are not present as an opponent, there will be a penalty of -1 to your seminar grade. You will either give the presentation on noise modelling or on particle modelling.
Grade for both portions is calculated as an average of different graded tasks and the total grade of the course is an average of grades for two portions.

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 or the student isn't able to solve any of the exam problems.
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 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.
