Planned Learning Activities and Teaching Methods

The course of theoretical lectures in the classroom, in the form of application will be processed in the laboratory. A faculty member will explain threads with slides, create in the form of question and answer discussion with students and practice in the laboratory experiments about the subject matter. will provide information after the end of experiments about preparation of reports and evaluation of results
