Assessment criteria, satisfactory (1-2) (course unit)

Student is able to use correct quantities and units for the topics, is able to analyze phenomena quantitatively and solve simple problems, which resemble examples given on the course.

Assessment criteria, good (3-4) (course unit)

In addition to exemplary problems, student is able to utilize the basic laws of oscillation, wave motion, atomic physics and nuclear physics in new situations and problems and is able to justify the solutions.

Assessment criteria, excellent (5) (course unit)

Student has a comprehensive understanding of the basic laws of oscillation, wave motion, atomic physics and nuclear physics. Student understands the interrelations between the laws and is able to use them in problem solving. Student is fluent in solving problems and can justify the solutions.

Exam schedules

Viikkokokeita pidetään noin joka neljäs viikko. Viikkokokeita ei voi uusia. Kokeiden ja tenttien aikataulu Moodlessa.

Assessment methods and criteria

Opintojakso arvioidaan asteikolla 0-5.
Kurssin voi suorittaa kahdella tavalla, joista voi valita toisen tai molemmat, jolloin parempi tulos jää voimaan:

1. Arvosana muodostuu viikkokokeista, harjoitustöistä, kotitehtävistä ja loppukokeesta saatavien pisteiden summasta.
Viikkokokeet 2 x 6 p = 12 p
Harjoitustyöt 2 x 6 p = 12 p
Kotitehtävät 6 p (15% = 1p, 30% = 2p, ...., 90%=6 p)
Loppukoe 30 p

2. Loppukoe: 2 x 30 p

Alustavat pisterajat ovat:

Arvosana 1: 20-18 p
Arvosana 2: 29-36 p
Arvosana 3: 37-44 p
Arvosana 4: 45-52 p
Arvosana 5: 53-60 p

Assessment scale
