ECTS credit allocation (and other scores):	(not available) Basic information on ECTS credits allocation principles: the annual hourly workload of the student’s work required to achieve the expected learning outcomes for a given stage is 1500-1800h, corresponding to 60 ECTS; the student’s weekly hourly workload is 45 h; 1 ECTS point corresponds to 25-30 hours of student work needed to achieve the assumed learning outcomes; weekly student workload necessary to achieve the assumed learning outcomes allows to obtain 1.5 ECTS; work required to pass the course, which has been assigned 3 ECTS, constitutes 10% of the semester student load. view allocation of credits
Language:	Polish
Prerequisites (description):	It is assumed that the student has a basic overview of various areas of physics, can operate plotting and curve fitting software, can choose suitable experiments out of the list based on laboratory instructions.
Mode:	Classroom
Short description:	The subject combines simple experimental exercises in the laboratory with the lecture on data analysis and experimental uncertainties. The main goal is to introduces the students to simple measurement methods, developing experimental skills and ability of the estimation of experimental accuracy.
Full description:	During the course students perform simple experimental exercises in the laboratory. They are related to different subjects: mechanics, thermodynamics, electrics, optics and nuclear physics. The subject contains also the lecture on data analysis (7 weeks, 2 hours per week). The lecture gives a short introduction into a broad spectrum of topics important in everyday laboratory practice: planning of experiments, data acquisition, presentation and analysis of the results with particular attention paid to statistical description of experimental uncertainties. Student is obliged to take part in 10x3hour sessions of experimental exercises and demonstrate sufficient knowledge of the analysis of experimental uncertainties. Experiments are performed individually. Student prepares him/herself to each class according to the written instruction for the particular exercise and TA recommendations. Then he/she performs the experiment and finally analyses the data and writes a report assording to the rules of the laboratory and TA instructions. Description by Wojciech Wasilewski, may 2010, based on work by Piotr Kossacki, February 2008
Bibliography:	Instructions and materials either on webpage or distributed by TA.
Learning outcomes:	Upon completion of the Laboratory each Student: - can operate basic laboratory instruments - briefly and clearly describes the course of measurement, results and draws conclusions
Assessment methods and assessment criteria:	Laboratory is credited when both the lecture test and the experimental part are sucesfully completed. Final grade is a mean of grades collected.
