Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Laboratory work.
Assessment methods and criteria
Assessment is conducted during the semester, after the performance and defense of laboratory work. To enroll in laboratory work, the student must submit a written report on the relevant laboratory work, which must contain the original experimental data, calculations - the formula and result of calculating the required value, errors, relevant graphs, conclusions about measurement methods, and obtained results, answer the basic questions on the topic of work. The final assessment is conducted in the form of a differentiated test. The student can receive a maximum of 100 points. To get a credit you must score at least 60 points.
