Requirements of the subject Chemical Unit Operations 2

According to the timetable, a one hour long classroom calculation practice is held every week. The lecturer may check attendance but it is not a requirement of obtaining the signature. Students can achieve a maximum of 10 extra points in a term based on their in-class activities and homework. Extra points are given by the lecturer. One written examination is performed on the curriculum of the calculation practice and there is one repetition test. When calculating the mark for the calculation practice, the last obtained mark is taken into account.The calculation mark can be higher than 5.0 but it is 1.0 if the midterm points are less than 40.Students attend three-hour long laboratory practices in groups of approx. 4 people. During the first occasion marked in the timetable (the first week of the semester) students receive an introductory lecture and are divided into groups. Students that are not present on this first class must not begin their laboratory practices on the second week. Students need to be prepared for the laboratory practices from the notes to be found at http://kkft.bme.hu/en/education/subjects/cuo2 (also by refreshing the previous knowledge required for the measurement) as entry tests will be written that have to be passed in order to participate in the measurement. (Upon failing the entry test, the student cannot participate in the practice.) The final mark for the entry test of one measurement is the average of the attempts. The group has to present one report on every measurement at the end of the measurement and it has to be accepted by the supervisor. If the group cannot hand in the report on time or it is not acceptable, they can submit the report within the next two weeks and have to pay a penalty (now it’s 3200 HUF for each group member) for the delayed submission. During the first two occasions, this fee is does not have to be paid so that students can estimate the depth of preparation needed to be able to present their reports on time. In case of a delayed submission the report has to be handed (or sent) to the laboratory supervisor. Reports are marked for each person: 2 points for a perfect work, 1 point for acceptable reports and 0 for one needing corrections. The measurement supervisor can modify the students’ points by 0.5 points based on their activity during the practice. The reports of two measurements (Film evaporator and Filtering and centrifugation) are prepared during a laboratory practice dedicated to preparing these reports. The maximal number of points for these reports is 5 points. The supervisor evaluates the work of students individually. One has to obtain a minimum of 1.5 points on each of these reports. These reports are also corrected (and hopefully accepted by the supervisor) by the end of the practice or can be corrected and handed in within two weeks in case of a delayed submission. The mark of the laboratory practice is calculated as follows:Subject requirements: signature (requirement for the exam) minimum pass (2.0) on both of the calculation and the laboratory practice, and writing 7 out of the 10 short tests at the beginning of the lectures.
Exam: only when one has a valid signature.The mark from the theoretical curriculum (the material heard at the lectures or got as homework, the theoretical knowledge related to the calculation practice and the laboratory practices) can be obtained during an oral or written exam. The exam needs to be passed in order to complete the subject. The exam can be a written one or a written and oral examination. In the latter case, to be able to participate in the exam, one has to pass a written entry test. A preliminary exam can only be taken if the student obtains the signature without using the retake calculation midterm to do so. Credit points: 6 (The final mark consists of the calculation mark (25%), the laboratory mark (25%) and the mark of the final exam (50%), the final rounding is done by the lecturer correcting the exams.)
