Course Enrolment Limitations

The course is also offered to the students of the fields other than those the course is directly associated with.

fields of study / plans the course is directly associated with

• Upper Secondary School Teacher Training in Physics (programme PřF, M-SS)

Course objectives

The discipline is devoted to students of physics teaching. The main goal is to learn how to prepare, perform and interpret physics lecture demonstrations.
