Studien-/Prüfungsleistungen:
Experimentalphysik-Vertiefung (Prüfungsnummer: 69401)
(englischer Titel: Advanced experimental physics)
- Prüfungsleistung, Klausur, Dauer (in Minuten): 120, benotet, 10 ECTS
- Anteil an der Berechnung der Modulnote: 100.0 %
- weitere Erläuterungen:
Voluntary interim examination: The presentation of at least two complete, predominantly correct solutions of homework problems in the exercise classes improves the grade by 0.3 or 0.4. The successful completion of the EV-A laser exercise lab also improves the grade by 0.3 or 0.4. The two bonuses may be added leading to an improved grade by 0.6 or 0.7.
