Study profile: general academic
Mode of study: full-time
Type of course: compulsory
Field and discipline of science: Field of Exact and Natural Sciences, Discipline: Physical Sciences
Level of study: second-cycle studies (Master’s level)
Year/Semester: 2nd year / 4th semester
ECTS credits: 1
Prerequisites:
Student workload balance:
- participation in lectures (15 hours),
- participation in consultations (10 hours),
- individual student work at home (0 hours).
Quantitative indicators:
- student workload related to classes requiring the direct participation of a teacher – 1.0 ECTS,
- student workload related to independent work – 0.0 ECTS.
Rules for the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI):
During classes, the use of AI systems is permitted in the following scope:
1. Machine translation of source texts from foreign languages.
2. Searching for and organizing scientific sources.
3. Creating simulations and modeling physical phenomena discussed during lectures.
In the case of violations of the above rules, the student may be held responsible under separate disciplinary regulations.
Through participation in lectures, the student becomes familiar with the latest research results in the field of physical sciences conducted at the Faculty of Physics of the University of Białystok as well as at other scientific centers, both domestic and international.
