Course content
The course «Solid State Physics» teaches modern ideas about the types of chemical bonds and crystal structure of solids, features mechanical, thermal, electronic, electrical, magnetic, and optical properties of their bodies, students are acquainted with the basic theoretical models for describing the properties of crystalline solids. The purpose of studying the discipline is to acquaint students with the theoretical foundations and modern problems of solid-state physics. The educational task of the course is to master modern models for describing the properties of crystalline solids. The result of studying is the acquisition of knowledge about the structure and physical properties of crystalline solids. Teaching methods: lectures, self-study. Assessment methods: surveys during lectures, modular tests.

Assessment methods and criteria
Semester assessment: (max/min)
1. Modular test 1 on topics 1-7: SR 1.1 - 25 points / 15 points
2. Modular test 2 on topics 8-14: SR 1.2 - 25 points / 15 points
3. Survey during lectures: SR 1.1, 1.2 - 10 points / 6 points
The test is made in writing. The maximum number of points that can be obtained by a student during the test is 40. To obtain an overall positive grade in the discipline, the grade for the test may not be less than 24 points. A student is not admitted to the test if he / she scored less than 36 points during the semester.
