| Teaching method : | Class hours two times per week a week (in total ca 5 hours): The teacher presents theory and describes experiments etc. The students present a small assignment after each chapter is finished The students present subjects from the list of goals Homework and group work (ca. 7 hours a week) Preparing of assignments and training in presentation. During the semester the groups should hand-in one assignment for each of the chapters in the course. In an assignment the group describes the theory and eventually experiments in a chapter using text and figures corresponding to the list of goals for that chapter. The group presents the assignment for the class when they hand-in the assignment. |
