Explanation of Notations

1. In the course description, the symbols in the matrix like L+E (where L and E are integer numbers), give the number of contact hours pro week for the subject. Here L is the number of lectures while E is the number of problem solving classes or laboratory exercises in hours/week.

2. In the final column the letters stand for the type(s) of assessment for the course.

 
Sz A comprehensive exam, including the material of several subjects, taught in more than a single semester.
SzJ An exam closing a single subject, eventually taught through more than a single semester. It is taken by a committee.
K A colloquium, which is an exam closing a single semester.
B An exam, closing a single semester, which is usually less difficult than a colloquium. It is assessed on a three grade scale (see No.3)
G A mark that assesses continuous work (the E part of No. 1), the results of tests and homework during the semester. 
?K,?G: Assessment according to the prescription of the course chosen, see above
3. The results of Sz, SzJ, K and G are assessed on a scale of five grades 5. very good
4. good
3. accepted
2. passed
1. failed The result of the exam of the type B is assessed on a three scales grade: very good,
satisfactory,
failed


@: The place of these subjects are only partially fixed, they can be accomplished in the following semesters:

  • Thermal physics in the 4-th instead of the 2-nd semester
  • Nuclear and particle physics 1. in the 6-th instead of the 4-th semester
  • Crystallography in any of the semesters 1., 3. or 5.
  • Group theory not later than in the 6. semester
  • Chemistry in any of the semesters between 1-6,
  • Informatics I and II at any time in this order.
  • Probability theory in the 3-rd instead of the 5-th semester
  • Numerical mathematics in the 3-rd instead of the 5-th semester.
    •


    +: Special laboratory, one of the following: Nuclear Physics laboratory, Biophysics laboratory, Optics and Laser Physics laboratory

    #: Any course announced by the Board of Physics Departments, assessment either K or G
