Annotation -
The Laboratory Course is a project-oriented course, where students solve three different projects in small groups during a week-long block course. Before the beginning of the practical part, students must carry out extensive theoretical preparation of experiments, then evaluate and discuss their results in submitted protocols (electronically).
