Fundamentals of Materials Strength – tutorial classes

Attendance at tutorial classes is not mandatory, but it will be checked. However, attendance will not provide any benefit towards the final exam.

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%.
  • The retake of the exam will take place during the examination session.

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.

If there are students with special needs, please inform me as soon as possible, either during office hours or via email.
