Course abstract | |
Course of physics is mastered within lectures, laboratory works and individual studies. Physics uses basic knowledge to explain conditions such as water, heat, light and exchange of gases- that are essential for existence of biological objects. | |
Learning outcomes and their assessment | |
After completing the course students will have:
• knowledge about regularity of essential concepts of physics and critical understanding of how to use it in real-world process description; • skills to use measurements of physical quantities and apply knowledge in calculation for their branch of research, summarize and analytically describe the results; • competence to evaluate results of measurements and calculations, problem solving and understand what influence their professional activities have on environment. |
