Organisation:
The theory is mainly presented in lectures. Solving of problems, discussions of theoretical and practical aspects of experiments in the laboratory are performed in lessons. The lecture course is examined in an individual written examination (KTR1). Theoretical and practical aspects of are illustrated in the laboratory course. The results of the experimental work should be presented and discussed in written reports.
The course runs during the entire autumn semester.
