BASIC
CB6 - Possess and understand knowledge that provides a basis or opportunity to be original in the development and / or application of ideas, often in a research context
CB7 - Knowledge about how to apply the knowledge acquired and their ability to solve problems in new or unfamiliar environments within broader (or multidisciplinary) contexts related to their area of study
CB8 - Ability to integrate knowledge and face the complexity of making judgments based on information that, being incomplete or limited, includes reflections on social and ethical responsibilities linked to the application of their knowledge and judgments
CB9 - Ability to communicate conclusions and the knowledge and ultimate reasons that sustain them to specialized and non-specialized audiences in a clear and unambiguous way
CB10 - Learning skills allowing to continue studying in a way that will be largely self-directed or autonomous.
GENERAL
CG01 - Acquire the ability to perform team research work.
CG02 - Be able to analyze and synthesize.
CG03 - Acquire the ability to write texts, articles or scientific reports according to publication standards.
CG04 - Become familiar with the different modalities used to disseminate results and disseminate knowledge in scientific meetings.
CG05 - Apply knowledge to solve complex problems.
TRANSVERSAL
CT01 - Ability to interpret texts, documentation, reports and academic articles in English, scientific language par excellence.
CT02 - Develop the capacity to make responsible decisions in complex and / or responsible situations.
SPECIFIC
CE11 - Acquire knowledge and mastery of the strategies and systems of transmission of light and radiation.
CE12 - Provide specialized training in the different fields covered by Fundamental Physics: from environmental physics, fluid physics or acoustics to quantum and radiation phenomena with their technological, medical applications, etc.
There will be an introduction before each experience. In the laboratory, students will have a script, which will indicate the specific activities to be performed. Students must submit a report of any kind (s) about the experiments carried out, following a format similar to a scientific paper, with particular emphasis on the conclusions.
Students can access the materials used through the Virtual USC platform. This platform can be used to schedule and to make different activities.
Attendance at the laboratory sessions will be an essential requirement for this course. Continuous assessment will be based on the work carried out in the laboratory (CB6, CB7, CG01, CG05, CT01, CT02, CE11, CE12) and the quality of the reports (CB8, CB9, CB10, CG02, CG03, CG04) that the student must present:
Activity Weight
Final reports 70%
Laboratory work 30%
However, all the students can attend to a final exam (100%).
In cases of fraudulent completion of exercises or tests, the provisions of the "Regulations for the evaluation of the academic performance of students and for the review of grades" will apply:
The fraudulent performance of any exercise or test required in the evaluation of a subject will imply a failure grade in the corresponding call, regardless of the disciplinary process that may be followed against the offending student. It will be considered fraudulent, among others, the realization of plagiarized works or obtained from sources accessible to the public without reworking or reinterpretation and without citations to the authors and the sources.
