Objectives:
Performing experiments from classical and modern physics with experimental equipment based on modern measurement methods typically found in research and industrial laboratories.

Competences:
practical skills in handling measuring systems
ability to address experimental issues in physical experiments
Ability to search for practical solutions in the literature and internet.
Relating practical skills to the obtained knowledge of fundamental physical principles.

Knowledge and understanding:

Students learn to relate the observation and measurement of physical phenomena, control of experimental parameters, handling logbook, performing basic data transfer and data analysis, presentation of obtained results in a form of a written final report on the experiment.

Group experimental practice, consultations. Weekly student reports feedback.

The assistant asses the quality of the measurement approach and performance according to final student reports.
5 - 10, a student passes the exam if he is graded from 6 to 10
