Teaching methods
The course includes lectures that address physical phenomena through theory and examples. The most important aspect for assimilating the content of the course is independent work. Independent work consists of reading the textbook and handouts, reviewing lecture notes, as well as solving exercises that require understanding and mastery of physical concepts. Guidance is provided for the exercises during classes.
The course includes theory lessons, online computational exercises, and group laboratory exercises (attendance required), along with related reporting. An online exam is held for the lecture and exercise component. Group laboratory works are conducted during classes and reported on. The assessment of laboratory reports influences the overall evaluation of the course. The exercises are done as remote tasks directly in Moodle.
Student workload
