Physics Lab Course  I (Practical)

 

CO13: Demonstrate observation skills in laboratory.

CO14: Analyze and interpret the measurements to draw valid conclusions with honesty.

CO15:  Develop oral and written scientific communication, and think critically and work independently.

CO16: Contribute effectively in course - specific interaction

 

 

 

Approach in teaching: Demonstration, Group activity, Discussion, Conduction of Experiments, asking Viva-voce questions.

 

Learning activities for the students:

Performing Experiments, observations,  Analysis and interpretation of results.

Class test, Semester end examinations, Viva voce, Practical record file
