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 and blackboard performance; ii) an intermediate exam; iii) a final exam.
i) Homework and blackboard performance, combined, account for 50% of the final grade (exercise points).
ii) The intermediate exam accounts for 25% of the final grade (exam points 1).
iii) The final exam accounts for 25% of the final grade (exam points 2).
A minimum of 50% from the exercise points, and 40% from the summed exam points 1 and 2 are required. To pass the course successfully, >=50% of the total number of points (exercise points + exam points 1 & 2) are required.
No second final exam will be offered.Exercise points:
At the beginning of each exercise session, a sheet is circulated on which students can tick what problems they solved. During the session, students are asked to come to the blackboard to present a problem. Their performance is evaluated with a weighting factor between 0.0 and 1.0.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.
At the end of the course, the best eight out of ten exercise sessions will be included in the calculation of exercise points (i.e., there are two "void results").Grading key:
00.0-49.9%: 5, 50.0-62.9%: 4, 63.0-74.9%: 3, 75.0-87.9%: 2, 88.0-100.0%: 1

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.
