Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The aim is to deal with relevant research topics on aerosol physics, with a special focus on aerosol dynamics and optics. The students will learn to read scientific literature and give scientific presentations. In addition, students will get insight into current work of the Aerosol Physics and Environmental Physics research group.

In this course students learn...
- to read and understand scientific literature
- about current research topics in aerosol physics
- to give scientific presentations
- to participate in scientific discussions and ask questions
- to give constructive feedback to others

Method: Presentation and discussion of current literature or current master and doctoral theses.

Assessment and permitted materials

Continuous assessment course.
Presentation of a topic previously agreed on with the teachers (current literature or master's or doctoral thesis). The student must also actively participate in the discussion of the presented topic.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

Minimum requirements
- Compulsory attendance, unexcused absence is allowed twice
- Presentation is mandatory.

Assessment criteria
- Presentation: 70% of the total points
- Participation in the seminar (two unexcused absences allowed): 30% of the total points

In order to attain a positive grade at least 60% of the total points must be achieved.

The grading key for assessment is:
Very good: 91% – 100%
Good: 81% – 90,99%
Satisfactory: 71% – 80,99%
Sufficient: 60% – 70.99%
Not sufficient: <60%

Examination topics

All contents covered in the course, in particular the technical content of the lecture given by the specific student and those presented in the seminar.

Reading list

Relevant scientific publications will be announced in the preliminary meeting (first date) or on Moodle.
