Study profile: general academic
Form of study: full-time
Subject type: compulsory
Field and discipline of study: Field of exact and natural sciences, Discipline of physical sciences,
Level of education: second-cycle studies
Year of study/semester: 2nd year/3rd semester
ECTS credits: 2
Prerequisites:
Students participating in the lecture and calculation exercises should have solid knowledge of physics and computational methods acquired in the previous cycle of education. Student workload balance:
- participation in lectures (15 hours),
- participation in tutorials (15 hours),
- participation in consultations (15 hours),
- student's own work at home (12.5 hours),

Quantitative indicators:
- student workload related to classes requiring direct teacher involvement - 1.5 ECTS;

- student workload related to independent work - 0.5 ECTS.

Principles of artificial intelligence (AI) use:
During classes, the use of AI systems is permitted for the following purposes:
1. Machine translation of source texts from foreign languages.
2. Searching for and organizing scientific sources.
3. Creating simulations and modeling of physical phenomena discussed in lectures.

The use of AI systems is not permitted during exams.
If any violations of the above rules are found, the student may be held accountable under separate disciplinary provisions.

Assessment criteria

Lectures
Students listen to a lecture. They participate actively in the discussion of problems and issues that arise in the material of the lecture as well as they participate in solving examples.
Methods of neutron end with a written and oral exam after completing the seminar course.
Students have usually received a list of tasks to be solved, the content of which is correlated with the content of the lecture. During the seminar course, they present tasks solution and discuss ways to solve. The particular attention has to be paid to the understanding of the concepts used and content, as well as the clarity of presentation. Teacher stimulates the group to ask questions and discussion. Students are encouraged to work as a team.
The written exam of the seminar course takes place on the basis of an assessment which takes into account:
• the ability to solve the tasks,
• understanding of posed questions,
• ability to use tables and literature
• active participation.
Evaluation criteria:
Very good – 5 (100% – 91%)
Good plus – 4.5 (90% – 81%)
Good – 4 (80% – 71%)
Satisfactory plus – 3.5 (70% – 61%)
Satisfactory – 3 (60% – 51%)
Unsatisfactory – 2 (50% – 0%)

Practical placement

Mandatory monthly practices are carried out in Bialystok Oncology Centre.
