Qualification-goals/Competencies:

• The students are able to describe the content of the fundamentals of physics and to develop and draw mathematically the corresponding models by use of physical formula.
• They can judge what fundamental physics can and cannot achieve in principle.
• They are able to transfer their acquired knowledge to simple practical applications.
• They are able to classify physical problems according to their complexity and draw the solutions. Thereby, they have the expertise to first analyze complex tasks and to structure them into subtasks.
• The students have social and communication competencies to discuss within smaller tutorial groups and the methodological competence to elucidate a common solution for the physical exercises.
• They have the communication competency to present their results in front of the tutorial group.
