Physics and acoustics, 7.5 credits

Specific entry requirements according to the programme syllabus of the Study Programme in Audiology, 180 HE credits.

The general aims of the course are that the student should acquire basic knowledge in mathematics and physiology required for later technical courses and parts in the Study Programme in Audiology.<br /><br />Learning outcomes of the course<br />On completion of the course, the student should be able to:<br />- explain basic concepts in mechanics and relate these to basic wave physics and acoustics<br />- account for basic properties of sound including noise<br />- understand and explain relationships in simple circuits, and demonstrate knowledge of basic electricity safety<br />- understand the meaning of mathematical formulas and graphs occurring in mechanics, wave physics, acoustics and electricity<br />- understand, present, and carry out simple physical measurements

Lectures, laboratory sessions, calculation exercises and demonstrations.

Examination takes place through
Part 1: Physics and acoustics, 6 HE credits
Written examination
Part 2: Physical measurements, 1.5 HE credits
Written laboratory report and passed written assignments

For a Pass grade in the course, attendance at compulsory parts is also required. In case of absence from compulsory part, the student is responsible alone to contact course coordinator for complementary assignment. Being offered for students who not have become passed at the regular examination total be given possibility to six examinations of which the three last in connection with the next occasion then the course is given.

Examination may take place under the previous reading list during a period of one year after the date of the renewal of the reading list. Examination will be provided during a period of two years after a close-down of the course.

A study guide is distributed at the beginning of the course, comprising assessment criteria for examination, specific instructions for certain tasks, a timetable specifying compulsory parts, and a list of responsible teachers.<br />Course evaluation will be carried out in accordance with the guidelines established by the Board of Education. Course evaluation will be carried out both through a written course evaluation at the end of the course, and through an oral course forum at least once in connection with the course, where the students may express their opinions.
