Course content
Elective discipline is a component of the cycle of professional training of specialists of educational and qualification level "bachelor". In particular, its fundamental laws and concepts of disorder are widely used in a number of important disciplines that are part of such sections of physics as physics and solid state theory. The main task is to acquaint students with the basic provisions and approaches used to describe general patterns and ideas to describe different types of disorders in order to establish patterns of their impact on physical properties. It considers the basic modern ideas about the disordered state of matter, the manifestation of such disording on internal structure and properties, includes a number of specific terms, categories, laws and approaches to the description of disordered structures. The result of training is the acquisition of knowledge about the structure of the disorder and its impact on physical properties.

Assessment methods and criteria
Semester assessment: (max / min)
1. Test 1 on topics 1-6: PH 1.1 - 8 points / 5 points
2. Test 2 on topics 7-9: PH 1.2 - 8 points / 5 points
3. Oral examination and defense of tasks for self-study - 4 points / 2 points
4. Laboratory works (6 works): RN 2.1 - 15 points / 9 points
