Teaching method

1.The teaching method is based on a continuous student activity during the semester.
2.For the understanding of concepts and laws of Physics, a mixed approach, with both theory and experiment is followed .

In laboratory sessions, besides the demonstration and verification of Physics laws, emphasis is given to metrology.
3.Continuous involvement of the students (beyond lectures e laboratory sessions) through:
3.1On-line self-evaluation quizzes on each chapter, through Moodle

Evaluation method
