Calculus: Fundamentals of Materials Strength/Strength of Materials

Last updated on Mar 14, 2025

Attendance at tutorial classes is not mandatory.

Course completion:

  • For 15-hour courses, the final assessment takes place during the last class.

  • For 30-hour courses, there are two assessments: one at the mid-point of the course and one at the end.

  • The passing threshold for the assessment is 60% for Fundamentals of Materials Strength and 50% for Strength of Materials.

  • The retake of the exam will take place before the examination session ([only one retake possibility]{.underline}).

  • If a small number of points is missing to achieve a passing grade, an oral response covering the course material, including theory, is also possible. Within this criterion, the student's activity during classes plays a key role.

  • If you get [more than 4.0]{.underline} from Strength of Materials calculus, your grade will also count as the lecture grade.

Active participation:

  • Active participation during classes will earn you extra points for the exam. Each participation and solving of tasks on the board will be rewarded with a plus. The student with the highest number of pluses will set the threshold for receiving 2 extra points on the exam, and other students will receive points proportionally. These extra points will only be added if a passing grade on the exam is achieved.

  • I strongly encourage active participation, as the tutorial class is designed for students to practice

Independence of work:

  • In case of doubts regarding the independence of the final work, an oral examination may be conducted.

Right to review assessed work:

  • Students have the right to review their assessed work (exams) during a period specified by the course instructor.
Those who, due to a health condition, disability or other objective reasons, may have special needs in relation to the way the class is delivered, the credit or the preparation of the materials, are asked to contact me during the consultation or after the class or email me about it. I will try to ensure that in my classes everyone has an equal right to gain knowledge and to be evaluated fairly.
