Course detail

Specialised Seminar

FSI-TSN Acad. year: 2019/2020 Summer semester

Task of seminary is to teach students so-called Popularisation to them self. They will learn how to present their branch and results to technically or naturally educated public. At seminars each student select and present a topic from their own study branch, which is close to them. Student has to discuss about the topic in the broad context, however he/she is expected to formulate his/her own point of view.

Learning outcomes of the course unit

At the final stage of their study, the students should be conscious of integrating ideas of physics and relations of various physical disciplines, and be capable of applying the basic principles to simple physical systems in order to explain and predict the behaviour of such systems.

Prerequisites

Knowledge of fundamentals and integrating ideas of physics gained by students in the course of their study of the Physical Engineering Study Programme.

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

Active participation in seminar discussions and presenting an essay.

Aims

The learning objective of the module is to reinforce students’ knowledge of the fundamentals and integrating ideas of physics.

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

Attendance at seminars is obligatory.
