Schedule

Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program
Learning unit contents
The aim of the lecture is to allow to the student to tackle an apparently simple problem from an experimental point of view. The student (or a group of 2 of them) has to realise an experiment, to make measurements, to interpret them, to interpret them, to critic them, and eventually to communicate the results.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
-to realise an experiment-to make original measurements -to critic the measurements -to elaborate a scientific story: what is the context? what is the aim? what is the method? what are the results? what conclusion may I deduce?
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
statistical physics
general physics
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Subjects are proposed.The student choices his subject (or by 2) The student is allowed to propose a subject. A story is determined together. The student realise the experiment and make measurements. The results are discussed together. A first poster in English is then realised by the student. This poster is reviewed and criticised. The final poster is sent and quoted.
Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)
in the lab
The experiment will be designed to be realisable at home using small equipments available at home. The measurement instruments are the camera or the smartphone.

Organisational remarks and main changes to the course
The experiments are realised during the second part of the year
The final poster must be sent for beginning of June
