Assesssment methods and criteria:

Classification Type: Quantitativa (0-20)

Evaluation Methodology:
In theoretical classes the methodology is expositive. The subject is given on the board, all equations and formulas are derived from first principles, and strong emphasis is placed on the link between physical formulas and the real world. Theoretical-practical classes consist of problem solving. Some key problems are solved on the board, but the vast majority are solved by students independently, with individual help from lecturers whenever necessary. Practical classes consist of carrying out experiments and processing experimental data. Assessment Model: B. Assessment Methodology: T and T-P components: 2 tests. At the resitting period, 1 or 2 tests can be improved. Practical component: 2 laboratory tests. At the time of appeal 1 of the tests can be improved. The weight of the practical component in the final grade is 30%.
