Teaching methods
Two weekly lessons have different aims. First one is a basic lesson with teaching with some discussions and basic problem solving methods. The emphasis is on understanding the theory. Second one is a problem solving lesson which is divided into two sections. Working in small groups to solve a problem and then there is time reserved to do the homework. Help is provided by the teacher or peers if needed.
International connections
Lessons with discussions, interactive problem solving in small groups and basic calculations.
Student workload
See ITSlearning
Homework assignments and two tests
Total amount work 130 h of which 44 h are lessons.
Content scheduling
The course contains some of the basic physics needed for ICT engineers. Every week contains two lessons. From 10.1. to 30.4.2022.
The course is divided into two themes. Theme 1: motion, forces and energy. Theme 2: electromagnetism (including theory of electricity).
A more detailed schedule and topics can be found in ITSLearning.
Evaluation scale
H-5
Assessment methods and criteria
Each homework assignment is worth one point and the course includes a mandatory amount of homework. Attendance to the problem solving classes is rewarded. You can pass the course with only homework, but to receive a better grade than 3, you also have to take a test. More information about the homework and grades can be found in ITSLearning.
