Reference Bibliography

No bibliographic references will be used in addition to the textbook.

Type of delivery of the course

In the eventuality of an extension of the emergency related to the COVID-19, all provisions ruling teaching activities will be adopted. This course is based on the platform MasteringPhysics (https://www.masteringphysics.com, access code provided with the textbook) that allows to monitor student learning process through tutorials, demo video, exercises and problems, tests and quizzes. During the semester, exercises and problems will be assigned to students weekly, along with tests (3 intermediate verifications during the semester), to check each student progress. Assignments and tests can be taken at home. Tests will be discussed during video meetings, using the platform Microsoft Teams, and each student will receive a grade between 0 and 3. This grade is part of the final grade.

Attendance

Attendance is required for at least 75% of the lectures and verified during the intermediate tests.

Type of evaluation

In the eventuality of an extension of the emergency related to the COVID-19, all provisions ruling teaching activities will be adopted. In addition to the intermediate tests, the final grade is based on a written exam (using MasteringPhysics) and an oral exam (using the platform Microsoft Teams). The oral exam is crucial in determining the final grade. The written exam consists on solving problems on each of the program modules, each one with its own and independent grade (6 point each, minimum grade 3). Grading of the written exam results on a grade between 9 and 18 (sum of the grades obtained on each module). The grade obtained with the intermediate tests will be added to the written exam grade, and the result will be a grade between 9 and 21 (grade A). Admission to the oral exam requires a grade A equal or better than 15. The oral exam consists on the discussion of an experiment, a model, a scaled-down plastic architecture element,...realized exploiting concepts and equations presented during the Physics course. The rational behind this exam is to verify the ability of students to quantitatively describe, by means of estimates and predictions, a given process or an observation. This exam will receive a grade between 1 and 10, that will be added to grade A. Student that are not admitted to the oral exam (grade A less than 15) can reach the minimum admission grade by improving their grade of the written exam. Validity of the grades obtained with the intermediate tests and with the written exam is 1 academic year.

Type of delivery of the course

Lectures and Practice Lessons Nel caso di un prolungamento dell’emergenza sanitaria da COVID-19 saranno recepite tutte le disposizioni che regolino le modalità di svolgimento delle attività didattiche e della valutazione degli studenti. In particolare si applicheranno le seguenti modalità: We will use different software platform, each dedicated to specific activities: -ftp Architettura and Google Drive to collect materials - Moodle to create a class and tocomunicate with students, - MasteringPhysics to do excercises - Teams to follow lessons

Attendance

Attendance at the course is mandatory for 75%

Type of evaluation

First of all, you find information about the textbook, course program, and teaching material on the ftp site of architecture. The course takes advantage of the MasteringPhysics web platform, used for to propose tutorial tutorials, demonstration videos, exercises and problems, and examinations and exams. Instructions on how to access, how and where to find access credentials, are in the document MasteringPhysics_arch.pdf in the architecture ftp site. During the semester of the course, you will be offered the on - going trials (3, such as number of modules in which the program is subdivided), to verify the level of understanding and student preparation. These tests are done in class using the platform MasteringPhysics. Depending on the outcome, each student may be "exonerated" or "evaluated" or "not exonerated". The meaning of "exonerate" and "not exonerated" is obvious, "to be evaluated" means that it will be necessary to evaluate the outcome of the test in question after completing all three tests ongoing. Each test in the "exonerate" result will be added to the score of the test, bonus points earned by performing home-based exercises with cadence approximately weekly. At the end of the course students with positive evaluations at the three test sessions are directly admitted to the practical test (see below). Students not admitted must get the positive evaluations missing on the exams. As for the exam, this is a written test and a practical test (if for the your order, the physical course is worth 4 CFUs, there is no practical test). The written test can be done in two ways: 1. Accessing the masteringphysics platform; instructions on how to access, how and where to find access credentials are located on the FTP ftp architecture (MasteringPhysics_arch.pdf). If decides for this option, the day of the exam you need to bring a computer, test and in the end you have the result immediately. 2. on paper. In any case, the proposed exercises are taken from the textbook, or from similar textbooks. In both modes, the written test is subdivided into the three modules of the course program, and each module has its own independent vote. The written test is considered outdated if the average of the three votes is greater than or equal to 18/30, with a minimum vote for each module not less than 15/30 (6 CFU exam) or 16/30 (4 CFU exam). You are admitted to the practice test with 70% of the written test At each exam call, there will be at least one test with MasteringPhysics and at least a test on paper. The booking through the student portal to these exams is mandatory. Practical evidence is the realization and discussion of an experiment, a model, a plastic, ... based on the concepts seen in the course. This test can be done and displayed even in pairs with another student. For any clarifications or questions, please contact the teacher (armida.sodo@uniroma3.it). Nel caso di un prolungamento dell’emergenza sanitaria da COVID-19 saranno recepite tutte le disposizioni che regolino le modalità di svolgimento delle attività didattiche e della valutazione degli studenti. In particolare si applicheranno le seguenti modalità: You can find information about the textbook, course program, and teaching material on - Course Moodle https://architettura.el.uniroma3.it/, in the folder “ Materiali Didattici” - Course “Fondamenti di Fisica” on Teams - Google Drive folder https://drive.google.com/open?id=1TjoYpQVfGkNpRYDXhFnvTiwI0kJtNQH1 The course takes advantage of the MasteringPhysics web platform, used for to propose tutorial tutorials, demonstration videos, exercises and problems, and examinations and exams. Instructions on how to access, how and where to find access credentials, are in the document “MasteringPhysics_RomaTre_istruzioni AA 2019_2020.pdf” in the folder Materiali Didattici on Moodle and Google Drive Due to COVID-19 emergence, exam will be taken in this way: - a written test on MasteringPhysics that will allow to access to - an oral exam where after the realization and discussion of an experiment, a model, a plastic, ... based on the concepts seen in the course, the student preparation will be tested by different questions The booking through the student portal to these exams is mandatory.
