Hi, I'm Giovanni, and I'm doing a PhD in Physics.
The exam
The exams have been corrected. Please come to my office if you want to see what you did wrong (send me a mail before coming).
I also wrote the correction. And yes, writing so little in the exercises was enough to get the points.
Solution of the exercises and other stuff
If you encounter any problem, please mail me (gio at ilorentz dot org) or send me a mention in twitter. Please always write your student number in the exercises, so that I can put “anonymous” grade on this page.
- The fifth set. (due for Wednesday 24/11)
Write clearly
Sadly enough, students do not care much about the amount of work sometimes needed to decipher their homeworks. As a consequence I don’t give any points to exercises which I’m not able to read. But you can write in Dutch if that makes you feel more comfortable.
Write less
As an Apple fan, I always think that less
is more better. Therefore, even though you have to justify every step, don’t use a thousands words to do that.
Exercise Marks
In the marks I write only the student number when possible. If the student number is not present, I write the initials. I could have made errors in the numbers and/or initials, due to my incapacity to read, or to your incapacity to write. If so, please let me know. The marks are organized as follow: the exericise number is above. Then I indicate, in a scale from 0 to 1, how correct the given answer is. If you think otherwise after seeing the solutions, let me know.
The extra exercises
Here some extra exercises that I began to hand out the 20th of October. They’re not due for anytime: they’re a mere aid to prepare the exam and to possibly understand new things. If you look at the solution before hitting your head against the wall, you’ll not learn much, so beware
