260061 PUE Introduction to Theory of Relativity (2019W)

We expect to cover three or four problems in each class, with the problems to be covered announced about one week before the relevant class. Students are required to prepare a written solution to one of the exercises each week. The solutions will be collected on a random basis, and graded from 0 to 10 points, the final grade being the average of the individual grades.

During the tutorials, students will be called to the blackboard on a random basis. The accuracy and completeness of the solution, the understanding of the subject, as well as the clarity and intelligibility of the presentation will be assessed.

Grading:
One can obtain up to 10 points for written solutions and up to 10 points for the blackboard presentations.

The final result being translated to marks as follows:
<= 9.5 points: 5
10 − 11.5 points: 4
12 − 13.5 points: 3
14 − 16 points: 2
16.5 − 20 points: 1
