Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

This seminar aims for all participating students to become familiar with the subject area, methods and formal requirements of the bachelor thesis, e.g. historic physical devices and literature as a source of knowledge on physics compared with today. Basically there is a wide range of topics.

The aims of the seminar are conveyed by the following methods: short presentations of the course lecturer and the students, discussions of historic and modern experiments, photos and videos of the historical physics collection are available, support to work independently.
