Arviointikriteerit, tyydyttävä (1-2) (Opintojakso)

Knowledge of the most essential phenomena and related quantities and units in mechanics and thermophysics. Capability to analyse, when guided qualitatively and quantitatively simple cases related phenomena similar to discussed examples.

Arviointikriteerit, hyvä (3-4) (Opintojakso)

In addition capability to apply the principles to new situations. Can use the terminology and models in presentations of justified qualitative and quantitative analyses of phenomena.

Arviointikriteerit, kiitettävä (5) (Opintojakso)

In addition, versatile and fluent ability to analyse phenomena qualitatively and quantitatively realizing the limitations related to theories in use.
