Objectives

Laboratory Practice in Physics and Electronics.

To familiarize students with aspects relating to the knowledge of electronics and instrumentation needed to carry out the experimental work, with its proper execution, with the analysis of experimental results, including calculation errors and the critical evaluation of experimental results;

Promote research information relevant to the experimental work;

Prepare and write reports of experimental activities;

to develop skills in group work.

Learning outcomes and competences

Experimental work execution. Knowledge of the principles of operation and use of scientific instruments. Capacity of modeling and analysis of experimental results. Prepare and write reports of experimental activities.

Working method

Presencial

Eligibility for exams

To obtain access to the evaluation the student must fulfil the following requirements: Participate in, at least, 3/4 of the classes. Elaborate two written reports, one from each series. Present a logbook with, at least, 3/4 of the practical assignments for each series completed.

Calculation formula of final grade

Continuous assessment 20% Evaluation of two reports and their defence 20% Evaluation of laboratory notebook (Logbook) 20% Laboratory examination 40% To obtain approval, all four items must have a rating higher than 8.0 / 20

Special assessment (TE, DA, ...)

As all components for assessment require the completion of laboratory work, it is recommended that all students in this situation contact with the lecturer to enable the realization of the practical component in a more flexible schedule according to staff availability.

Classification improvement

Due to the laboratory nature of the course, to improve classification only the component corresponding to the laboratory exam will be considered, in "Época de Resurso" of the same academic year.

The other evaluation components may be subject only to improve next school year, in accordance with subparagraph b of paragraph 2 of Article 12 of the "Rules of evaluation of student achievement" FCUP through new attendance Course. This description is taken early in the school year and accounted for in the maximum credits that the student can enroll.
