Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
Same as for the corresponding lecture 280318 "Thermodynamics of the Atmosphere".
Assessment and permitted materials
The grading system is based on: i) homework; ii) blackboard performance; iii) a final exam. Homework and blackboard performance, altogether, account for 50% of the final grade (exercise points). The final exam accounts for the remaining 50% (exam points). To pass the course successfully, a minimum of 50% of the exam points and 50% of the exercise points is required.At the beginning of each exercise session, a sheet is circulated on which students can tick what exercises they solved. During the session, students are asked to come to the blackboard and their performance is evaluated with a weighting factor of 0, 0.5, or 1.At the end of the course, exercise points are calculated as (A/B)*C, where:
A: sum of points gained by ticking problems.
B: total points available.
C: mean weighting factor of the blackboard performances.
The worst homework session is not included in the computation ("void result").
Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
Students following the course will understand the basic concepts of thermodynamics and their application to thermodynamic processes in the atmosphere.
Examination topics
Exercise problems will be solved by the students at home. During the exercise session the problems will be presented by students at the blackboard and discussed in class.
