| Organisation and teaching style | Students prepare the basics of the experiments in groups. To applicate methods, students execute, also in groups, measurements and analyze them independently according to the instruction. Experiments are documented written. |
| Course assessment, assessment mode | This module is a compensable electoral module. It is passed if - the internship was attended successfully.
- the test is passed. If the test is not passed there will be the opportunity for a re-test (written or oral). In case of not passing the re-test it is recommended to attend the course of the module again with a subsequent second re-test. Already attested experiments will not be accredited. If the second re-test is not passed the module is failed finally.
The module mark is the mark of the test (or re-test). |
