|
| Evaluation conditions (participation and/or pass) | ✔ |
|
| Conditions | Participation in all components of the evaluation is mandatory. |
|
|
|
| Consequences | If a student does not participate in one or more of the components of the evaluation because of an unjustified reason, he/she will receive an N = evaluation not fully completed: unjustified absence for one or more components of the evaluation as the final result for the course. |
|
|
|
| Additional information | Regarding the improper use of genAI in this course, we refer to the guidelines of the study program and the lecturer on Blackboard.
For students with exam contract, the case and debate are replaced by an alternative assignment in the exam period. |
|
Second examination period
| Evaluation second examination opportunity different from first examination opprt | |
|
| Explanation (English) | The case and the debate cannot be retaken. They will be replaced by an
alternative assignment. |

Master of Materiomics
|
- EC
| EC 1. The graduate of the Master of Materiomics programme has an in-depth understanding of the fundamentals of functional materials, especially with regard to the relation between composition, structure and functional properties at all length scales and in their operating surroundings. | | | - DC
| DC1.2 The student is able to explain properties of materials and apply this knowledge. | - EC
| EC 2. The graduate of the Master of Materiomics programme can combine chemical and physical principles enabling the discovery of new material concepts based on an interdisciplinary approach. | | | - DC
| DC2.6 The student is able to relate chemical and physical concepts and methods to each other to understand materials. [learning pathway interdisciplinarity - coordination: the student is able to make connections between different perspectives] | | | - DC
| DC2.9 The student is able to assess which concepts, models and methods from different perspectives are most useful in a specific context. The student uses this assessment in selecting the best perspectives. [learning pathway interdisciplinarity - reflection: the student considers different perspectives and is able to reflect critically on them] | - EC
| EC 3. The graduate of the Master of Materiomics programme has insight in how modelling or synthesis methods predict and affect functional properties and is able to design sustainable materials based on in-operando functionality making optimal use of the synergy between computational and experimental methods. | | | - DC
| DC3.5 The student is able to select a material and device architecture in view of a specific application/functionality. | - EC
| EC 8. The graduate of the Master of Materiomics programme is able to act with integrity and independently judge ethical and societal implications of scientific developments in one’s domain with particular attention to sustainability. | | | - DC
| DC8.2 The student is able to evaluate the sustainability of a material, a device or a process. |
