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 the basic knowledge in mathematics and physiology required for later technical courses and parts in the Study Programme in Audiology.

Learning outcomes of the course
On completion of the course, the student should be able to:
-explain basic concepts in mechanics and relate these to basic wave physics and acoustics
-explain basic properties of sound including noise
-understand and explain relationships in simple circuits, and demonstrate knowledge of basic electricity safety
-understand the meaning of mathematical formulas and graphs occurring in mechanics, wave physics, acoustics and electricity
-understand, present, and carry out simple physical measurements

Lectures, laboratory sessions, calculation exercises and demonstrations.
Laboratory sessions, calculation exercises and demonstrations are compulsory. In case of absence from compulsory part, the student is responsible for contacting course coordinator for complementary assignment.

The course director assesses how absence from compulsory education elements can be compensated for. Before the student has participated in the compulsory parts or has replaced compulsory education, in accordance to the instructions of the course coordinator, the final study results cannot be reported. Absence from a compulsory education element may result in that the student can not recover the occasion until next time the course be given.

Physics and acoustics, 6 credits
Written examination

Physical measurements, 1.5 credits
Inividually written laboratory report and passed written assignments

For a Pass grade in the course, attendance and active participation in compulsory parts are also required. For students who have not passed the regular examination, possibility for examination is offered at a total of six examinations, of which the three last in connection to the next occasion when the course is given. As examination, the times that the student participated in the same test are counted. Supplementary addition to a written assignment is counted as an examination.

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.
The course evaluation will be carried out in accordance with the guidelines established by the Board of Education. The 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.
