Prof. Dr. T. Giesen

Basic Information

Core course for Primary and Secondary Area of Specialization in the master program: Molecular Physics

Content: Main Lecture

The module is passed by passing an oral examination covering the topics of all attended courses. To be admitted to the exam, students must actively participate in the problem sessions (including the solution of homework problems) and present a scientific talk in the seminar course. The grade given for the module is equal to the grade of the oral examination.
