The exam is oral. The student pulls two questions to be answered. One question covers the topics of helioseismic methods, the second than the remaining topics. The third part of the exam is the test of the background knowledge, when the student pulls ten terms from the field of physics of the Sun, which are expected to be answered immediately. Each part of the exam is graded, the resulting grade is an arithmetical average of the subgrades. If any of the subgrades is 4 (nedostatečně), the total grade is also 4. The third part is evaluated according to the following scheme: 0-4 correct answers -- mark 4, 5-6 correct answers -- mark 3, 7-8 correct answers -- mark 2, 9-10 correct answers -- mark 1.
The requirements for the exam correspond to the subject syllable as it was discussed during the lectures. |
