ASSESSMENT- PHYS2170

The Physics course will be assessed as follows:

• Final Exam - 50%
• Assignment - 30%
• Participation - 20%

Assignment

In your tutorial during week 10 (5th Oct), you will be required to submit an assignment on a topic of your choice. You must, therefore, obtain approval of your topic from your tutor! Do not leave this until the last minute or you might find that your chosen topic is already being covered by two other students. Late assignments will receive 10% less credit for each day of lateness. For example, if you hand in the assignment on the following Thursday, it will be two days late and your assignment grade will be reduced by 20%.

Participation

Tutorials (and lectures) run a lot better when students are well prepared and actively participate during discussion time. 20% of the course mark is therefore reserved to assess you on this basis.

Final Exam

The final exam is worth 50% and will be held during at the end of session.
