Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
Assessment and permitted materials
Examination is inherent in the course. Students may use their prepared notes.
Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
Attendance of the course `Relativity and Cosmology I' strongly encouraged.We expect to cover 2-4 problems in each class. We encourage you to discuss homework with other students, however, the work you hand in should be your formulation and reflection. Use of previous solutions is not allowed. Homework sets must show reasoning leading to the final answers in a clear and readable fashion to obtain credit. Late homeworks are accepted only under serious circumstances.Participation in exercise classes is not obligatory but is encouraged. During classes we discuss exercises, alternative approaches, common problems, and answer your questions.Alternatively, questions and comments may be posted (and answered!) using Discussion forum on Moodle.The final score is an average of the homework grade.Grading:
Less than 50% of the maximum final score: not sufficient (5)
At least 50% but less than 65%: sufficient (4)
At least 65% but less than 80%: satisfactory (3)
At least 80% but less than 90%: good (2)
At least 90%: very good (1)The PUE is an exam-intensive course and serves the purpose of preparation for the module exam.Registration for the PUE is not mandatory.
