Failed (0)

A student cannot solve mechanical exercises well enough. Less than 33% of maximum scores.

Assessment criteria, satisfactory (1-2)

A student knows methods for geometry in plain and for vectors in plain and can solve simple mechanical exercises.

Assessment criteria, good (3-4)

A student understands requirements of geometry and vectors in plain and is able to apply them in some extent in engineering problems. At least 57% of maximum scores.

Assessment criteria, excellent (5)

A student masters geometry and vectors in plain and is able to analyze engineering problems. At least 83 % of maximum scores.

Teaching methods

Self-paced online course. Automatically checked assignments award points to complete the course. Assignments alone can pass the course, but higher grades require participation in an applied exam.
