In the course of studying physics, it is necessary to prepare students to apply the acquired knowledge to solve practical problems. For this, the theoretical study of each module is accompanied by the solution of problems on its subject both in the classroom and as independent work of students. To acquire and improve the skills of a physical experiment, students are offered a laboratory workshop in physics, which is constantly updated and modernized. In the course of the practical work, students get acquainted with the measuring equipment, learn to evaluate the accuracy of measurements and determine the error of the result. The content of the laboratory workshop corresponds to the theoretical course. During the course of physics, students perform two or three laboratory works from each module. Much attention is paid to the independent work of students, which includes the study of theory, the solution of individual tasks, the calculation and preparation of reports on laboratory work. The control of its implementation is carried out by teachers and with the help of the "TEST" complex using a PC, programs and test materials developed at the department. The final forms of knowledge control are tests and exams.
