Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Students prepare and discuss exercises related to the material covered in the lecture "Advanced Computational Physics".

Assessment and permitted materials

This course is conducted with continuous assessment and is graded according to the criteria stated below.
The module “Advanced Computational Physics” is completed by taking the module exam. This exam is graded independently from this course.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

For grading, a written test towards the end of the semester and the participation in class in the form of presentations and discussions are considered.
In order to attain a positive grade, students have to
- achieve at least 50% of the maximum number of points that can be reached in the written test, and
- give at least two presentations on exercises in class that are complete and correct.

Due to the current situation (COVID-19), one or both presentations can be substituted by handing in complete and correct solutions of the posed exercise problems. When substituting both presentations, for a positive grade students have to achieve at least 50% of the maximum number of points that can be reached by handing in solutions.

Examination topics

The subject of the written test will be the topics discussed in class during the semester.
