ECTS credit allocation (and other scores): (not available) Basic information on ECTS credits allocation principles:
  • the annual hourly workload of the student’s work required to achieve the expected learning outcomes for a given stage is 1500-1800h, corresponding to 60 ECTS;
  • the student’s weekly hourly workload is 45 h;
  • 1 ECTS point corresponds to 25-30 hours of student work needed to achieve the assumed learning outcomes;
  • weekly student workload necessary to achieve the assumed learning outcomes allows to obtain 1.5 ECTS;
  • work required to pass the course, which has been assigned 3 ECTS, constitutes 10% of the semester student load.

Learning outcomes:

To acquaint students with basic concepts in optics, atomic physics and condensed matter physics. The student will be able to further self-education in this area.
Assessment methods and assessment criteria:

After each lecture, the student will receive some simple problems to solve at home. Class ends with written and oral examination. Final rating depends on the sum of points obtained in the homework, the exam and oral exam.

Attendance not mandatory (option R). Option RW (only lecture): 50% attendance required.
