Assessment criteria
To gets assessment of laboratory necessary is to execute all of labs, to prepare reports and oral presentation of results. The absence of 50% of the laboratory makes it impossible to obtain credit from the laboratory.
At https://fizyka.uwb.edu.pl/wydzial/struktura/pracownie-studenckie you will find instructions for laboratory exercises, rules for the student laboratory, and detailed instructions for preparing reports. Please review the attached documents.
The assessment of labs is necessary condition to oral assessment of lecture.
Evaluation of student work:
• assessment of labs ;
• oral assessment of lecture.
Description of local grading system:
A - bardzo dobry - 5 - (100%- 91% of successful students normally achieving the grade);
B - dobry plus - 4,5 - (90% -81%);
C - dobry - 4 - (80% - 71%);
D - dostateczny plus - 3,5 - (70% - 61%);
E - dostateczny - 3 - (60% -51%);
FX- niedostateczny - 2 - (50% - 0%) .
Regulation on Artificial Intelligence
In accordance with Regulation No. 31 of the Rector of the University of Białystok (UwB) dated April 11, 2025 (Paragraph 4, Section 3), all laboratory reports for the Mechanics course must be completed without the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI).
