Physics II (Electricity and Magnetism) 1100-1AF24

Assessment elements are:

• Homework assignments.
  
  Each homework set will contain one mandatory task. The mandatory task will be checked and graded. The remaining tasks are optional; if submitted, they will be checked but not graded. The submission deadline for each homework set will be announced at least two weeks in advance.
• Midterm test.
  
  The midterm consists of a test covering the material discussed in the lecture and computational problems covering the material discussed in the exercises and lecture exercises.
• Written exam.
  
  The written exam consists of computational problems covering the material discussed in the exercises and lecture exercises. One of the exam problems will be selected from the optional homework tasks. The prerequisite for admission to the written exam is passing (minimum 50% of points) the mandatory homework tasks or the midterm test.
• Oral exam.
  
  The oral exam consists of three questions. The list of questions will be made available before the examination session. Two questions will be drawn at random, and one question will be chosen independently by the student. The prerequisite for admission to the oral exam is obtaining at least 50% of the total points from homework, the midterm, and the written exam.

The final grade for the course is the average of two grades:

• The grade resulting from the sum of points from homework, the midterm, and the written exam.



Point thresholds for individual grades:





• [50%-60%) – sufficient (3)


• [60%-70%) – sufficient plus (3.5)


• [70%-80%) – good (4)


• [80%-90%) – good plus (4.5)


• [90%-95%) – very good (5)


• [95%-100%] – excellent (5!)


• The grade from the oral exam



Requirements for individual grades:





• Excellent: the student explains phenomena and performs calculations flawlessly, presenting their reasoning in an exemplary manner.


• Very good: the student explains phenomena and performs calculations flawlessly or with minor errors not affecting the physical meaning of the explanations or calculations.


• Good: the student explains the simplest phenomena and performs the simplest calculations flawlessly or with minor errors not affecting the physical meaning of the explanations or calculations; occasionally makes mistakes or cannot perform more complex tasks in this area.


• Sufficient: the student explains the simplest phenomena and performs the simplest calculations flawlessly or with minor errors not affecting the physical meaning of the explanations or calculations; makes mistakes or cannot perform more complex tasks in this area.

The excellent grade is counted in the average as 5.5. The course is passed if both grades are positive.

Resit exam

The resit exam consists of two parts:

• Written exam.
  
  The written exam consists of computational problems covering the material discussed in the exercises and lecture exercises.
  
  

  Point thresholds for the written exam grades:

  
  
  
  
  • [50%-60%) – grade 3
  
  
  • [60%-70%) – grade 3.5
  
  
  • [70%-80%) – grade 4
  
  
  • [80%-90%) – grade 4.5
  
  
  • [90%-100%] – grade 5
  
  
  
  
• Oral exam.
  
  The oral exam consists of three questions. The list of questions will be made available before the examination session. Two questions will be drawn at random, and one question will be chosen independently by the student. The prerequisite for admission to the oral exam is obtaining a positive grade from the written exam.
  
  

  Requirements for oral exam grades:

  
  
  
  
  • Very good: the student explains phenomena and performs calculations flawlessly or with minor errors not affecting the physical meaning of the explanations or calculations.
  
  
  • Good: the student explains the simplest phenomena and performs the simplest calculations flawlessly or with minor errors not affecting the physical meaning of the explanations or calculations; occasionally makes mistakes or cannot perform more complex tasks in this area.
  
  
  • Sufficient: the student explains the simplest phenomena and performs the simplest calculations flawlessly or with minor errors not affecting the physical meaning of the explanations or calculations; makes mistakes or cannot perform more complex tasks in this area.
  
  
  
  

The final grade is the average of the written and oral exam grades, and the course is passed if both grades are positive.
