Syllabus

This is an obligatory course for all 1st year MSc students in Physics. The course intends to expose the students to experimental physics, via hands on experience in labs as well as lectures by experimental PIs in the faculty.
 
During the 1st semester there will be 2-4 weekly hours of frontal presentation by various experimental PIs, presenting their lab activity.
 
Between the 1st and 2nd semester there will be 6 weeks of hands on lab experience, split into two 3 weeks projects that will be performed in two different labs.
 
At the second week of the 2nd semester each student will need to participate in a one full day of presentations, where she/he will give a seminar about their project, hear about the projects done by other students, and grade them.
