Check the internal, mathematical and physical self-consistency of the material, check its consistency with the references in each chapter, check its consistency with recent open access summaries of observations and theory that you can find at http://arXiv.org. Feel free to participate in Wikipedia talk pages and to edit the article content yourself once you understand the material and the editorial principles sufficiently. * [[http://cosmo.torun.pl/~boud/Observational_cosmology_-_30h_course.pdf][Observational cosmology - 30h course (version: 31.10.2013)]] ---++ exam * calibration: lecturer should be able to do full exam in 60 minutes with a score of at least 4.5 (out of 5) * limit for lecturer to add new model exercises: %RED%23 May 2014 (może być?)%ENDCOLOR% * fixed day/time, expected up to 3 hours, allowed up to 6.5 hours, at KRA as in a traditional exam; repeat exam possible in September as in official program * exam uses a selection of wims exercises made available in exercise mode, 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} * 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 %$xq^{0.3}$% <!-- time limit per question - you get 0 if you pass the time limit without answering - like having several independent exams where you get 0 if you don't give an answer - but you can try again, with some decrease in the _quality_ parameter --> * exercise mode: * Scoring is enabled by default - but this doesn't count for any official zaliczenie! * Scoring is not limited by IP range - you can practice from Spain or Fiji if you wish. * link to wims: [[/wims][exercise mode (bez zaliczenia!)]] %INCLUDE{"WimsHowToCalculate5Points"}% -- Main.BoudRoukema - 31 Oct 2013
