Assessment criteria
Lecture – Examination consisting of two parts (physical chemistry and nuclear chemistry).
The final grade of the lecture consists of:
- 50% of the result of the physical chemistry exam,
- 50% of the result of the nuclear chemical exam part.
It is necessary to achieve at least 51% of the points in each part of the exam and to complete the laboratory.
Laboratory - The student is obliged to perform 7 exercises and prepare the results in the form of reports according to the given scheme. It is necessary to pass each exercise and obtain a minimum of 51% of the points.
The exam and the lab are graded on a scale:
<51% - unsatisfactory, fail (2)
51 - 60% - satisfactory (3)
61 - 65% - better than satisfactory (3,5)
66 - 75% - good (4)
76 - 80% - better than good (4,5)
>80% - very good (5)
