Fundamentals of Mechanics 1100-1Ind11

After the course:

Knowledge

1. Knows basic topics and concepts of classical and quantum physics, in particular relativistic mechanics and their historical development. Knows their role for the development of science and understanding the laws governing the material world.
2. knows basic topics of nonrelativistic gravity
3. knows basic topics of vibrations and mechanical waves in continuous, discrete media and dynamics of continuous media.

Skills

1. knows how to use higher mathematics in the description and modeling of physical phenomena and how to derive and prove basic equations governing physical phenomena connected in particular with relativistic mechanics, nonrelativistic gravity and dynamics of continuous media.
2. knows how to solve problems in elativistic mechanics, nonrelativistic gravity and dynamics of disrete and continuous media.
3. Knows how to present and explain basic facts in physics and how to communicate with both experts and non-experts in physics.

Attitude

1. Apreciates importance of deep and thorough analysis of problems before drawing conclusions and taking decisions
2. Is ready to learn throughout the whole life

1) A student who scores at least 50% of the points in two tests will pass the exercises and will be admitted to the written examination, and regardless of the result, will also be admitted to the oral examination. Each test consists of a test and assignments; the ratio of points possible for the tests and assignments is 10 and 20, respectively.

2) A student who does not achieve the required minimum of 50% will fail the exercises, but may take the written examination. If they score at least 50% of the required points in this examination, they will be eligible to take the oral examination.

3) The written examination (both in the regular and resit sessions) consists of a test and an assignment section. Each section is worth 20 points.

4) In the event of an excused absence from one colloquium, the assessment of the tutorials will be based on the grade from the remaining colloquium multiplied by 2. The course coordinator or the Vice-Dean for Student Affairs will decide whether the absence is excused.

5) A base grade for the course will be assigned based on the written tests. This grade will be based on the PB base points, defined as the maximum of the following two numbers: the sum of the points from the two colloquiums and the exam, and the number of points from the exam multiplied by 2.5. Depending on the PB value, the base grade will be equal to:
2: for PB < 50
3: for 50 <= PB < 63
3+: for 63 <= PB < 76
4: for 76 <= PB < 88
4+: for 88 <= PB

6) The base grade may be changed as a result of the oral examination, but by no more than two grade points, with the proviso that a base grade of 2 can be raised to a maximum of 3. The student taking the oral examination will discuss two topics selected by the examiner. Each topic can be scored on a scale of -1, 0, and +1, and the sum of these scores will determine the conversion of the base grade into the final grade. However, raising the base grade from 2 to 3 requires a grade of +2 in the oral examination.
