Assessment criteria
Exercises:
- As part of the exercises in the Physics IV subject, the Student is required to complete 2 projects during the semester (1/3 of the final grade);
- 2 written tests during the semester as part of the crediting of the exercises (crediting the test - 40%), no retake of the tests are planned (2/3 of the final grade);
A positive grade for the exercises with 2 projects and 1 test passed. 3 exceptions are allowed without justification.
Lectures:
- Final written exam (persons admitted to the written exam with two projects and at least one test passed) and an oral exam (after passing the exercises and the written exam): : 3 tasks/questions: (1 task/question = 3.0, 2 tasks/questions = 4.0, 3 tasks/questions = 5.0)
The following evaluation criteria are adopted for all effects in all forms of verification:
5.0: fully achieved (no noticeable shortcomings),
4.5: almost fully achieved and the criteria for awarding a higher rating are not met,
4.0: achieved to a significant extent and the criteria for awarding a higher grade are not met,
3.5: achieved to a significant extent - with a clear predominance of positives - and the criteria for awarding a higher grade are not met,
3.0: achieved for most cases covered by the verification and the criteria for awarding a higher rating are not met,
2.0: not achieved for most cases under review.
