Learning outcomes of the course unit
Knowledge of definitions, laws and their validity conditions in the range of the syllabus. The emphasis is laid on the encouragement of abilities to solve physical and technical problems by virtue of general information obtained from the lecture Quantum and statistical physics.
Prerequisites
Integral and differential calculus.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
The course is taught through exercises which are focused on practical topics presented in lectures.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes
Students are evaluated on the basis of discussion on topics explained during the course.
Aims
Proseminar in physics V is drawn up to support students’ active approach their study content. The main aim is to actively follow the commentary by means of the intensive collaboration between the teacher and the student.
Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences
For passing out the Proseminar in Physics V the attendance at the courses is obligatory. In the case of excused absence an individual way of compensation can be arranged.

Syllabus
Proseminar complements the lecture Quantum and Statistical Physics given within the frame of the speciality Physical engineering and Nanotechnology. Students taking this seminar can practise tasks of some parts of statistical physics and thermodynamics. Acquired abilities belong to the necessary skills in applied physics.
