Grading
The final grade is 50-50% based on the laboratory practice reports and the written exam.
Laboratory practice reports (50% of the final grade):
- Everyone should perform 7 laboratory experiments, based on the weekly schedule above.
- A written laboratory report about each of the practices performed should be submitted at the end of the semester to the instructors (Dr. András Kiss or Dr. Gábor Lente).
- Everyone must submit their own report individually, even if the measurements were performed in 3- or 4-membered working groups.
- Submission deadline: ???11 December 2024???.
- The laboratory reports will be corrected and handed back to everyone.
- Return date: ???18 December 2024???.
Written exam (50% of the final grade):
- Dates are announced in NEPTUN. You must register in NEPTUN for the selected date.
- Types of question on the written exam:
- multiple choice questions (based on the lecture material),
- short essays, basic equations, definitions, and diagrams (based on the lecture material),
- false or true questions (based on the lecture material),
- calculations (based on the laboratory practice).
- A SAMPLE TEST can be downloaded here.
