Physics 2 (5 cr)

Evaluation scale

0-5

Objective

The students understand the significance of the course areas of physics in practical applications and they can make and solve the magnitude equations related to the problems. In addition, they understand the significance of error analysis when they combine their laboratory measurements with the theory they have learned and when they prepare a report on their observations according to given instructions.

Exam schedules

The dates and method of the exam and the two resits will be announced in the course opening information.

Completion alternatives

The admission procedures are described in the degree rule and the study guide. The teacher of the course will give you more information on possible specific course practices.

Student workload

One credit corresponds to an average of 27 hours of work, which means that the load of five credits is approximately 135 hours. The load is distributed in different ways depending on the course implementation.
