Modules

PY2P30 - Physics for Earth Sciences

SF Physics for Earth Sciences Practical Laboratory Classes
Students attend six 3 hour experimental laboratory classes (on alternate weeks).

Exam – Trinity Term
Information about examinations is posted on the Senior Freshman notice board (outside the labs on the first floor of SNIAM) during Hilary Term. The physics for Earth Sciences module, PY2P30 is examined in an end-of-year 2-hour examination paper during the annual exam session in Trinity Term. The overall mark for the module is calculated as the weighted average of the exam mark (65%) and the laboratory practical mark (35%). If a student does not achieve a pass grade in the module the student must either compensate according to the rules of the Earth Sciences course or take a supplemental exam in that module in the following Michaelmas Term. Marks in the supplemental exams are calculated in the same way as in the annual exam.
