Evaluation scale

0-5

Objective

Purpose:
You learn about the basic phenomena of electromagnetism and waves, which is a requirement in information technology to understand the devices used in information technology.

EUR-ACE Competences:
Knowledge and understanding
Engineering practice

Learning outcomes:
After completing the course you know basic principles and concepts of mechanical and electromagnetic waves. You
know about the wave behaviour in various substances and interfaces between substances.

You know the basic concepts and principles of electromagnetism. You also know about the physical fundamentals of electric basic components, direct current motor, electric generator, antennas, and optical fibre.

Assessment criteria, satisfactory (1)

Sufficient 1:
You recognize the phenomena in the course content and are able to make assumptions concerning some phenomena. Most of the models you use are related to the phenomenon you recognized, and your assignment solving progresses logically.

Satisfactory 2:
You have described the phenomena in the course content but your description of phenomena needs improvement. You are able to make assumptions based on the phenomena and have selected in most cases the suitable physical models. You have solved correctly unknown parameters, but your solutions need improvement.

Assessment criteria, good (3)

Good 3:
You have described the phenomena in the course content correctly and have made the most important assumptions concerning the models you used. You have in most cases reached correct solutions but you have made some miscalculations.

Very good 4:
You have described the phenomena in the course content quite well and made the assumptions needed to model the phenomena. You are able to find alternative solution models to resolve the problem. You have solved the assignments correctly but have made some minor miscalculations.

Assessment criteria, excellent (5)

Excellent 5:
You have described the phenomena in the course content accurately and have made the correct assumptions for modelling. You are able to evaluate the suitability of various models when solving problems. You have completed the assignments correctly and you may have some oversight in your calculations.

Qualifications

Simultaneously or before the course you know the basics of vector calculus, trigonometry and differential and integral calculus

Further information

Opintojakso arvioidaan kokeen tai kokeiden ja laskuharjoituksista kerättävien pisteiden perusteella.

Kurssin ohjauksiin osallistuminen on vapaaehtoista, mutta suotavaa. Opiskelijan tulee vahvistaa ilmoittautuminen kirjautumalla kurssin Moodle sivuille ensimmäisen kurssiviikon aikana. Jos kurssille osallistuminen estyy, tulee siitä ilmoittaa kurssin opettajalle viimeistään ensimmäisen kurssiviikon aikana. Kurssi on mahdollista opiskella virtuaalisesti.
