GENERAL RULES

1. To get credit for laboratory classes in the ‘Physics’ module, the student must obtain passing grade for at least 9 out of 10 experiments.

2. An experiment that has been missed will be rated as zero added in the calculation of the grade average.

3. Performance of an experiment consists of:

Theoretical preparation to an experiment to be performed on a given day. (‘A Guide to Experimentsat Basic Physics Laboratory’)

1. 1. …’ and a recommended handbook Physics by Douglas C. Giancoli) – oral or written introductory test.

   2. Making measurements and writing the results in a protocol – admission to carry out experiments depends on the assessment of theoretical preparation.

   3. Analysis of the measurement results in a paper protocol in accordance with ‘A Guide…’ and lecturers recommendations.

The analysis should be handed over to the instructor during the same class.

It is necessary to obtain a positive grade for each of the aforementioned points to receive a credit for an experiment.
