Course content
The subject of the educational discipline "Physics of solutions" includes the thermodynamics of solutions, the basic provisions of the molecular theory of solutions, and experimental data on the properties of various types of solutions. The goal of studying the discipline is to obtain deep and systematic knowledge related to modern theoretical methods of the physics of solutions, mathematical tools and the application of these methods in setting up and interpreting experiments on the study of the properties of solutions, including in medical and biological systems. The educational task of the course consists in students' assimilation of the basic methods of the theory of solutions, application of these methods for conducting experiments on the study of the properties of solutions and analysis of the obtained data.

Assessment methods and criteria
Student evaluation forms: - semester assessment: 1. Survey during the first content module - 6 points/ 10 points 2. Modular control work 1 – 12 points/ 20 points 1. Survey during the second content module - 6 points/ 10 points 2. Modular control work 2 – 12 points/ 20 points Module 1: evaluation for answers in pairs and for the modular control work on the topic "Thermodynamics of solutions" - 30 points (cutoff evaluation 18 points). Module 2: evaluation for answers in pairs and for the modular control work on the topic "Molecular theory of solutions" - 30 points (cutoff evaluation 18 points). - final evaluation in the form of an exam. The maximum score is 40 points (cut-off score is 24 points). The final number of points in the discipline (maximum 100 points), which is determined as the sum of points for systematic work during the semester and the results of the exam.
