Homeworks will bbe graded

Mechanics of rigid and elastic bodiesThermodynamics

The courses will be graded as follows:All students will receive 5 homeworks (with 4-6 exercises each), which shall be solved and studied at home. They will exclusively be put on Moodle one week prior to mini-exams.At the beginning of the next unit, 2 randomly picked exercises with slight alterations to the homework exercises have to be solved in a closed-book mini-exam at the beginning of the class. The time period is 30-45min depending on the complexity of the tasks.Please have a pen, pencil, and pocket calculator (additionally also eraser and ruler if needed) ready. All other items, including course notes and pencil cases are not allowed on the desks during examination. Additional paper will be provided by the lecturers on demand.Make sure to arrive on time for units with mini-exams.Each mini-exam exercise will yield a maximum of 4 points (pts). So, there are a total of 8 points for each mini-exam.Subpoints will be granted for non-fully solved exercises.The max. achievable point count is 40. The grades will be determined as followed:•    40.0 - 35.0  --> 1•    34.9 - 30.0  --> 2•    29.9 - 25.0  --> 3•    24.9 - 20.0  --> 4•    < 20           --> 5 (fail)The dates for the mini-exams are scheduled to be on:(Note: slight changes in this schedule are possible)•    October •    November•    December •    January •    January
