Learning outcomes |
This course aims to conduct experiments in the areas of Electromagnetism and Modern Physics, with a view to consolidating the previously acquired physical concepts in various areas of Physics, especially in the course units of General Physics II and Introduction to Modern Physics. It is also intended the development of skills related to the written and oral presentation of scientific results.

Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
The theoretical contents of the course will be explored mainly through the realization of practical activities (laboratory classes) supported by an expository methodology. The laboratory practical classes, in addition to traditional didactic equipment, will also resort to the use of modern computerized didactic equipment. For each experiment, students should apply the skills acquired through the preparation and discussion of a report. As this curricular unit is eminently practical in nature, the assessment, during the teaching-learning period, will be calculated based on the performance and work carried out by the students.
The Final Grade in the Teaching-Learning period is the arithmetic average of those obtained in laboratory work.
Final Grade in Exam = 0.5 Teaching-Learning Grade + 0.5 Written Exam.
This written theoretical-practical exam test will focus on the contents studied in laboratory work.
