Evaluation criteria:
Course assessment is based on the quality of the student's work (physics, methods, and tools), technical project report, and student's own project management (initiative, schedule, phases of the project, project management tools). In the technical project report, in addition to a concise reporting of research questions, methods, and main results, the student presents how the stages and tools of project management were visible or used during the work.
