2. säteilyfysiikka ja laitetekniikka. AIKA:...

Kummankin osan voi uusia erikseen. Ajat sovitaan yhteisesti opintojakson aikana.

Assessment methods and criteria

Kaksi kirjallista koetta. Molempiin kokeisiin on osallistuttava ja päästävä läpi. Osa 1 = matematiikka ja fysiikka, 2 op. Osa 2 = säteilyfysiikka ja laitetekniikka, 2 op. Toisen osan (säteilyfysiikka ja laitetekniikka) kokeesta on saatava vähintään 1/2 pisteistä, jotta STUKin pätevyysvaatimuksen täyttyisivät. Opintojakson arvosana määräytyy osien arvosanojen painotettuna keskiarvona. Painokertoimet:
Osa 1, matematiikka ja fysiikka, 2 op: painokerroin 50 %
Osa 2, säteilyfysiikka ja laitetekniikka, 2 op: 50 %

Osallistuminen natiiviröntgen- ja UÄ-laitteiden opetukseen (sairaalafyysikko) syksyllä 2025 (HYV/HYL)
