Experimental Method 2 This course is composed of presentations of the results from the experimental exercises made by students in the course EXP1. These experiment (presentations) are then discussed in the class and critically evaluated. Approximately 2 or 3 experiments (each about 30 minutes) are discussed once in a week according to the schedule.
Students in pairs (or threesome) gain some practice in planing and preparation of experimental design. The main output is the execution and presentation of small experiment. Students will learn how to evaluate experiment. They can practise the discussion skills. Skills (Student ...): - has working experience in a small team with other students (2-4 persons). - practices to realize experiment of their own design. - is able to explain the process and results of his own experimental work in the form of presentation - presents the process and results of his/her experimental work in front of a group of listeners - critically evaluates published or presented experiment and discusses its strengths and weaknesses. |
