Development of the examination
LEARNING EVALUATION METHODS
written and oral examination

LEARNING EVALUATION CRITERIA
It is evaluated the understanding of the main concepts related to the topics of modern physics and the ability of using the studied laws of physics as a tool for solving a large variety of problems. In the written examination it will be considered important in the evaluation: the chosen way of solving the problem and the numerical and measurements aspects related to the problems' solution (calculation, measurements uncertainty).

LEARNING MEASUREMENT CRITERIA
It is evaluated the level of understanding of concepts and the depth of analysis of the subjects

FINAL MARK ALLOCATION CRITERIA
Both in the written and oral examination the score will be proportional to the degree of understanding of the main concepts and the insight of the different topics. The final score will the the mean value between written and oral examination.
