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 (also some computation and simulation are introduced). In laboratory sessions, besides the demonstration and verification of Physics laws, emphasis is given to simulation.
3. Continuous involvement of the students (beyond lectures e laboratory sessions) through written questions on each chapter.
Evaluation method
There is continuous evaluation throughout the semester or a final exam at the end of the semester.
The continuous evaluation consists of two theory tests and practical evaluation every two weeks.
