As part of the Competency-Based Approach, students will be trained in the following critical skills.
Modelling a phenomenon in physics
The student will be confronted with various nuclear physics models, which are relatively simple, but which make it possible to explain numerous properties of nuclei. They will take part in the development of these models, in particular by drawing on analogies with physics concepts covered elsewhere. They will need to understand each model, and correctly grasp the limits and complementarities between them.
At the end of the course, students will be able to:
Exercise sessions are organised by an assistant to illustrate and put into practice the concepts covered in the theory course.
Some of the questions in the reference books are solved during these tutorial sessions.
Assessment of the theory course takes place in June or August, in the form of an oral examination. Each student has time to prepare for two randomly selected questions, which they then present orally. Students may use their course notes for this assessment. The score obtained accounts for 2/3 of the overall mark.
The exercises are assessed in the form of a written exam, also organised during June or August. The students will receive a form with the main equations from their teaching assistant for this assessment. The score obtained accounts for 1/3 of the overall mark.
