Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Wechselwirkung zwischen Strahlung und Materie, Strahlungstransport, Hydrodynamik (Kontinuitätsgleichung, Impulsgleichungen für rotierende Planeten, lineare Wellen, Navier-Stokes-Gleichungen), atmosphärische Thermodynamik

Assessment and permitted materials

Vorlesungsteil: Jeweils eine Teilprüfung am Ende der jeweiligen Einheitenblöcke der Fachgebiete (Meteorologie / Astronomie).
Übungsteil: Abgabe bearbeiteter Übungsbeispiele; Präsentieren, Vorrechnen und Erklären der Beispiele

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

In order to successfully complete the entire LV (lecture + tutorial), each student needs to:

cross off a minimum of 50% of the given examples - Criterion 1. Examples that are not handed in on time cannot be considered. Furthermore, crossed examples are bound to the attendance of the student, which means that in the case of non-attending the tutorial, crossed off examples will be deleted.
you can gain a maximum of 2 points per presentation. At the end of the term, each student must have at least 2 points on his presentation record - Criterion 2. The assessment follows:
+ 0 points: example addressed but wrong comprehension of the problem
+ 1 point: example addressed but some mistakes during the presentation
+ 2 points: example solved (small errors like signs are not treated as such)
- 2 points: if the example has been clearly copied from someone else. No understanding of the problem.

performance UE [%] =[ number crossed off examples / total number of examples + (presenter points−2) ⋅ 0.04] ⋅ 100

total performance [%] = performance VO [%] ⋅ 0.57 + performance UE [%] ⋅ 0.43

Sehr Gut 100% - 91%
Gut 90% - 78%
Befriedigend 77% - 61%
Genügend 60% - 50%
Nicht Genügend <50% or <2 presenter points or <50% crossed-off examples
