Planned Learning Activities and Teaching Methods

This course will be taught practically in the laboratory. After the lecturer explains the subject, students will perform the relevant experiment, then he/she will expect students and/or groups of students to perform the experiment, create a discussion environment in the form of questions and answers and learn the subjects.
