what

advanced level

summary of modern cosmology

  • AstroPh:0602280 - George Ellis - Issues in the Philosophy of Cosmology - this is a proper scientific approach, i.e. serious philosophy explained in simple (scientific) words

online intros to cosmology

wims - wersja online

traditional exercises

how

who

  • się dodaj do listy, np Main.PiotrNowak
  • BoudRoukema (lecturer)

zaliczenie

  • 5 points from relativity exercises on http://cosmo.torun.pl/wims
    • you can do the exercises from outside the spacetime region of the exercise sessions, but without getting points
    • you accumulate points during the official exercise sessions

exam

  • calibration: lecturer should be able to do full exam in 60 minutes with a score of at least 4.5 (out of 5)
  • fixed day/time, expected up to 3 hours, allowed up to 5 hours, at KRA as in a traditional exam; repeat exam possible in September as in official program
  • exam uses a selection of wims exercises used during the exercise sessions, i.e. the questions are different but statistically drawn from the same distribution in a multi-dimensional parameter space with N >> 1 parameters
  • same as for exercises: score rounded to nearest number in the set {0, 2, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5}
  • The examination for this subject requires verification that the students are working through examination questions using verifiable tools. Purely online methods of verifying the students' knowledge are insufficient for this course, so a face-to-face "traditional" exam is required. Experience has shown that some students use scientifically invalid methods.
  • differences wrt exercises
    • stronger prerequisite relation between exercises - you must do the easier exercises before being allowed to try the harder ones
    • more severe scoring system: xq instead of xq^{0.3}

5.0 punkty zaliczenia na wims - jak jest obliczony

  • Możesz zdobyć aż do 5.0 punkty za ćwiczenia w wims:
    • 0.0 \le 5 \frac{ \sum_{i=1,n} x_i q_i^{0.3} }{n}  \le 5.0 gdzie
      • x_i jest ile% done dla danym "sheet" - między 0.0 i 1.0
      • q_i jest "quality" (jakość) - między 0.0 i 1.0; potęga 0.3 implikuje, że efekt q_i jest, ale jest słabo oprócz jeśli quality jest bardzo niska...
    • równowalna sposoba liczyć:
      • home
        • My scores
          • Global average: ile over 5. Tutaj, ile jest ile punkty masz razem
  • Wzor dla jednego cwiczenia q_m po m razy, gdzie s_1, ..., s_m to ocen między 0.0 i 1.0, to q_m = \frac{0.85 q_{m-1} + s_m}{1.85}. Tzn, q_m, to uwazone srednio, gdzie najostatnich razy sa najwazniejszy.
  • Chromium/Chrome bug: As of 2020 to 2024, the chromium/chrome browser software has a bug that prevents the display of some of the exercises. Firefox is one browser without the bug.
