Course description and aims
[summary] The lecture will be given for the basics of the physics experiments. The topics will be, how to write experiment's note, writing a good report, processing and statistics of data, optical measurements, technique for the vacuum operation, the particle detection techniques, circuit board works.
[aim] These knowledges will become useful when taking the 'Experiments in Physics A' and 'Experiments in Physics B'.
Student learning outcomes
[the goal] To learn the basic knowledge and techniques for the physics experiment, and the main principles behind.
In order to observe and verify the law of the nature, the students need to learn experimental techniques as well as the
documenting skills and interpretation of the experimental procedures, and the results.
Also the understanding of experiment itself and the data processing techniques are important.
In this class, the student can learn these basics of the physics experiment.
Keywords
physics experiment, data processing, experiment report
Competencies that will be developed
| Specialist skills | Intercultural skills | ✔ Communication skills | ✔ Critical thinking skills | ✔ Practical and/or problem-solving skills |
Class flow
In general, the lectures will be given with slides. Handouts will be provided.
Occasionally the small experiments will be carried out as a demonstration.
Course schedule/Required learning
| Course schedule | Required learning | |

Out-of-Class Study Time (Preparation and Review)
To enhance effective learning, students are encouraged to spend approximately 100 minutes preparing for class and another 100 minutes reviewing class content afterwards (including assignments) for each class.
They should do so by referring to textbooks and other course material.
