Learning outcomes of the course unit

Students will improve their individual (technical) thinking, experimental skills and ability to express their ideas orally as well as in written form.

Prerequisites

Students are expected to have prior basic experimental experience (measurement of basic physical quantities) and mathematical skills necessary for data processing (solving equations, basics of differential calculus).

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

The course is taught through practical laboratory work.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

During the course, students can get points for their homeworks and for reports from experimental measurements. The classification will be based on final points rating. To get the accreditation, the rating better than 50% is necessary.

Aims

The aim of the course is to teach the students how to propose and perform simple experiments,
how to process the obtained data and how to express and discuss their results.

Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences

Attendance is compulsory. Missed lessons and related points may be compensated for via make-up tasks by the agreement with the teacher.
