Unterrichtsform
In this course, theoretical concepts are presented in class by the professor, while practical activities (laboratory sessions and field trips) are led by the professor in collaboration with the teaching assistant (TA).
Students are expected to work independently in the laboratory—under the supervision of the professor and the TA—and at home, to solve exercises and prepare a report based on the lab sessions and field trip.
The PowerPoint presentations used in class will be made available on the course's Microsoft TEAMS platform, along with links to external resources and exercises.
