Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

These are the exercise sessions of the Course 260008 VO Advanced Statistical Physics and Soft Matter Physics (2022W) and they form one unity with the former. There will be one problem set distributed each week and it will be due 1 or 2 weeks later; here, "due" means that the problems will be discussed in class.

Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel

Students will present the homework problems at the board, explain to the others and all participate in the discussions.
Two tests (each contributing 50% to the total grade) will be held on the dates determined and announced in the beginning of the semester, during the exercise class. They will consists of one or two exercises that will have to be solved in class.
The homeworks contribute to the grade in two ways: 1) solving and understanding homeworks will help to solve the tests 2) Active participation in class and homework presentation will improve the final grade by 1 if within 10% of the grade boundary.

Mindestanforderungen und Beurteilungsmaßstab

50% of the total points at the final exam

Mark key:
