Information

 

PLACE, TIME

The classes are on Friday, between 12:15 and 13:45. We meet at the campus (check the room in Neptun). The seminars are lead by Titusz Fehér (Dept. of Physics).

The MS Teams group correspondig to this course is "Course 2023-24-1 - MSc Seminar Nanophysics". Every student will get the code to sign up via Neptun in the first week of the semester.

 

TOPIC

Any advanced topic in physics, preferably with a focus on fundamental aspects. Bring an interesting recent (review) article, or a collection of related articles. The title of the talks should be finalized at latest when you send me the first version of your slides (see Requirements below).

 

REQUIREMENTS

  • Give two talks: a long and a short one. (Specially for NA3 students: before your short talk you also have to present a test exam of a final examination question of your choice.)
  • Send me the slides to the address msc.seminar at server gmail-dot-com: a 70% ready version two weeks before the midnight preceding your talk, and a 99% ready version one week before the midight preceding your talk. Penalty will be given for being late with these deadlines.
  • Take an active part in the discussion after the talks: ask relevant questions and/or give relevant comments (4+4/person/semester).
  • Fulfill ≥70% of your assignments.
  • A maximum of 3 missed classes.
  • Evaluate each presentaion here right after the talk.
  • Marks will be determined by the presentation including response to questions during the discussion. Being late with sending slides and postponing presentation too late will result in penalty on marks (1-1 marks deducted for missing the deadlines, 2 marks deducted for postponing a talk too late—special offer: if you miss every deadline incl. unable to give the talk, you can still earn a 2 with a good presentation).
  • One has to be prepared to step in for a cancelled talk one week before the original schedule.
  • Student work on course NA4 is not marked but only audited (gets a signature only): in change NA4 students are not allowed to postpone their talks without notice at least 1 week in advance, while they have to prepare for being able to step in if needed!
