Teaching Method
At the faculty of science, teaching is organized after the three-phase model ie. intro, training and study phase.
These teaching activities are reflected in an estimated allocation of the workload of an average student as follows:
- Intro phase (lectures) - 15 hours
- Training phase: 25 hours
The course is divided into three sections, where the content of the first section and the second section are included in the third section. The first section deals with classroom demonstrations and their significance as a learning tool. The second section discusses guidelines for instructions to specific experiments and the third section couples the first two sections in a written product that forms the basis for the oral exam. In addition, the course includes lectures on didactics, learning theories, laboratory safety and uncertainty calculations.
Activities during the study phase:
- Thorough study of a self-selected topic.
- Unassisted work with the experiment.
- Development of an experiment instruction as a basis for the oral exam
