Objective

• 1. Formation of knowledge and ability to navigate in the physics of the atomic nucleus and particles, understanding the deep connection between the micro-and macrocosm; 2. The formation of skills of practical work with particle detectors, setting up experiments, processing and presenting the obtained data; 3. The ability to set tasks and perform elementary calculations of the passage of particles through matter, acceleration and detection of particles, in the physics of the atomic nucleus.

Learning outcome: knowledge and understanding

Learning outcome: applying knowledge and understanding

• Be able to use the formulas of the special theory of relativity; - calculate the mass of the nuclei and the elementary kinematics of the reactions; - apply reference material to study the possibility of using the radioactive radiation of nuclei and particles from accelerators for applied and scientific purposes;

Learning outcome: formation of judgments

• 1. Understanding the depth and complexity of the laws of nature, the generality and interrelation of phenomena in the micro and macro worlds, including the Universe. 2. Willingness to work effectively independently as a team member on an interdisciplinary topic, to be a leader in the team. 3. Understanding the need for independent training and professional development throughout the entire period of professional activity.

Learning outcome: communicative abilities

• develop the communication skills needed to work in a team.

Learning outcome: learning skills or learning abilities

• 1. The ability to demonstrate professional knowledge in the field of particle detection and nanosecond electronics. 2. Readiness to apply the ideas and methods of modern nuclear physics in other areas of human activity.

Teaching methods

1. Lecture-seminar-credit system 2. Research methods 3. Information and communication technologies

Assessment of the student's knowledge

Teacher oversees various tasks related to ongoing assessment and determines students' current performance twice during each academic period. Ratings 1 and 2 are formulated based on the outcomes of this ongoing assessment. The student's learning achievements are assessed using a 100-point scale, and the final grades P1 and P2 are calculated as the average of their ongoing performance evaluations. The teacher evaluates the student's work throughout the academic period in alignment with the assignment submission schedule for the discipline. The assessment system may incorporate a mix of written and oral, group and individual formats.

The evaluating policy of learning outcomes by work type

Evaluation form

The student's final grade in the course is calculated on a 100 point grading scale, it includes:

• 40% of the examination result;
• 60% of current control result.

The final grade is calculated by the formula:

 

Where Midterm 1, Midterm 2are digital equivalents of the grades of Midterm 1 and 2;

E is a digital equivalent of the exam grade.

Final alphabetical grade and its equivalent in points:

The letter grading system for students' academic achievements, corresponding to the numerical equivalent on a four-point scale:
