Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

For students in the new curriculum, the course consists only of a "lecture part," where active participation from students is also encouraged.

For students in the old curriculum, the course consists of a "lecture part"—where, again, active participation from students is encouraged—and a "practical part" for applying the methods discussed in the lecture.

The content is limited to areas of physics that are largely unaffected by chemical processes and for which lecture experiments are essential, such as mechanics, oscillations and waves, electricity and magnetism, and optics.

Prerequisites: Knowledge of mathematics from secondary school (AHS) is helpful.

Format: Lecture, possibly including demonstrations of experiments, with active student participation in solving conceptual problems.

In the exercises (for students in the old curriculum): Deepening of mathematical methods and lecture content, problem-solving related to the lecture material.

Other: Learning throughout the semester promotes understanding of the lecture's cumulative structure and makes it easier to ask additional questions at the end of the lecture hours.

Assessment and permitted materials

For students following the new curriculum:
Assessment: Written exam, duration 1 hour, exam language: German Multiple-choice questions and open questions on lecture material

For students following the old curriculum:
Assessment: Written exam, duration 2 hours, exam language: German Multiple-choice questions, open questions on lecture material, calculation examples Allowed tools: Calculator, mathematical formula collection.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

Knowledge of fundamentals and methods of classical experimental physics, comprehensive understanding of central results and of the necessary mathematical formalism; to be able to apply the mathematical formalism to basic physical concepts.
Out of 60 achievable points, at least 30.5 points are necessary for a positve grade.

Grading key:
For a positive test result, more than half of the maximum 60 points are required.
53.0 to 60.0 points: very good
45.5 to 52.5 points: good
38.0 to 45.0 points: satisfactory
30.5 to 37.5 points: sufficient
0 to 30.0 points: not sufficient

For students in the new curriculum:
Bonus points: On the basis of voluntary participation in reading quizzes (tick tests) , a maximum of 5 bonus points can be earned, which are added to the points achieved in the exam and can lead to an improvement in the grade (e.g. 44.5 points on the exam and 1.5 bonus points gives 46 points, which improves the grade from "satisfactory" to "good".) In order to be able to improve a negative assessment to "sufficient" with bonus points, at least 47.5% of the possible number of points, that is 28.5 points can be achieved. The bonus points achieved will be announced in Moodle at the end of the semester.

Examination topics

For students following the new curriculum: Terms and concepts of experimental physics presented in the lecture.

For students following the old curriculum: Terms and concepts of experimental physics presented in the lecture, as well as calculation examples.
