Activities - in relation to examination
This course has several activities:
Lectures
The lectures are partly of review type. They can
also be method or guest lectures. Look at the weekly program! As we have
so differing backgrounds, some lectures may suit one participant and other
lectures another participant. There is, however, a solid core of the course
that everyone should cover. Therefore we have the list
of questions (for your training) and the three quizez
(multiple-choice questions for test)! The quizes will be available on the
computer net during certain periods.
The purpose with the question list and the quizes
is to quickly get started in picking up knowledge within the materials-theory
field. Your quiz will be given points according to your performance. The
results of the quizes are saved to the final dialogue with the examiner.
Home-work problems
Two sets of home-work problems will be given during the course. The puropose is to train solving simple materials problems.
Projects
In addition to the two compulsory computer excerzices
every participant should - in a group of 1 - 4 persons - take part in
three projects (computer laboratory, literatur task (at least one), and
other projects, e.g., visit to research group).
Wide otion and room for initiatives! Feel free
to get inspired by our project list. Short
written and oral accounts should be given. Your project will be given points
according to the written and oral performance of your goup. Feel free to
use the project homepage for the delivery of your written projekt report!
Supervision
The examiner, lecturers, computer-excerzice responsible person, and course assistent are available for supervision, primarily in connection with lectures, labs and other activities, secondarily at times given on our sign-up list.
Examination
Your grade will be based on your results on home-work problems, quizzes, projects and final dialogue. For Graduate-school participants: Your points on the three quizzes, two home-work problems, and five projects will be summed and divided by ten, to give P. The P-value and the performance behind is the starting point for the final dialogue (FD), which can give both positive and negative corrections to the P-value (FD-adj P).
For instance, for the homework problems, each
set has five problems, which when solved fully can give 3 points.The 0-15
points that you achieve are stored in the student server under the heading
H1 in a table like the following:
| H1 | H2 | Q1 | Q2 | Q3 | P1 | P2 | P3 | P4 | P5 | P | FD-adj P |
The result in this column and the other 9, 7 or
3 performance columns (for 5p-, 4p-, and 2p-students, respectively) are
summed and divided by 10, 8, and 4, respectively. If you are a Chalmers
student, who should be given grades, a result of 6 points then gives a
good basis for grade 3, 9 ponts for grade 4, and 12 points for grade 5.
However, there should be the concluding dialogue, which might change the
examination result up
or down a little.
