Objective
As a student you are able to describe physical laws and phenomena sufficiently to enable you to understand the physical operating principles of the most common methods and devices used in laboratory work. You can perform basic calculations and apply these to biomedical laboratory work. You know how to convert units, solve equations, and identify and describe mathematical dependencies.
You are able to draw conclusions from distributions. You know how to use spreadsheet software to calculate and analyse statistical parameters and correlation between variables, and interpret and assess statistical reports in laboratory work.
Content
Mechanics and mechanical applications

Exam schedules
Basic mathematics: Moodle assignments.
Assignment in Mathematics: dead line agreed later
Mathematical statistics: exam
Physics: Exam 08.12.2022 Resits SU202301, SU202303.
There is a "preliminary exam" in physics, which is taken in Moodle. Take a look at chapters 2.1, 2.2, 2.5 (before section 2.5.1), 3, 4.1, 4.2 of the handout. and take the preliminary exam based on them on 17.8. by the first hour to be held. Study material can be used in the exam and you can take the exam as many times as you want. After taking the test, you will receive feedback from the test with hints pointing to the correct answers.

Further information
uition in Finnish
Students must confirm their attendance for a course implementation by being present when tuition begins or in another manner agreed with the lecturer; for example, by returning the first course assignment. Students who are unable to attend the first teaching session due to illness may also confirm their attendance by informing the lecturer of this in advance.
Physics: Check also tutorial videos found on the Internet.

Continuos assessment, home work.
Physics: Continuos assessment, home work.
Relationship between percentage of points of the maximum points and grade: grade 1 = 50% of the total max. points, 2 = 60%, 3 = 70%, 4 = 80%, 5 = 90% (Physics is 40%)(grades 0-5)
