Physical Measurements

Lecturer:

Tutor:

Jana Hudzietzová

Supervisor:

Department of medical branches and humanities

Synopsis:

The course acquaints students with the basic knowledge necessary to understand the concept of quantities and units, which form the basis of any physical measurement. Exercises include the proper use of quantities and units in different areas of science and technology, including the processing and presentation of results. They also discuss the measurement errors and their statistical evaluation, as well as the fundamental concept and layout of equipment for physical measurements of some common values.

Requirements:

Active participation in seminars, including home preparation, required 100% attendance at seminars, absence can be excused only for serious and documented reasons for agreement with the exercises. The method of compensation shall exercise teacher.

Credit will be awarded submission essay, which is accepted as a teacher and has successfully performed the control test and final test. Tests will consist of written part of the contents of a given exercise and self-study. In the test, the student may use literature, Internet, mobile phone or consult with other students. The examination is oral part only in the case of an ambiguous test evaluation.

The written test is part of the combined control of:

- ABC-type answers (possibly more correct answers) - correctly answered question 1 point

- The answer when it is necessary to respond in writing (very important issues) - 5 points

- The answer when it is necessary to respond in writing (conversion relationships, etc.) - 1 point

- The answer when it will be necessary to demonstrate the mathematical and physical knowledge (examples, etc.) - 5 - 15 points depending on the complexity of the issue.

Students can reach the maximum number of 80 points, with the successful execution of the recovery test is necessary to reach 60 points (75%) and more.
