Course Objectives The objective of this course is to discuss the role of theoretical and experimental physics, how to do research in physics, how to design an experiment and how to use statistical and mathematical methods appropriate to its design. The basic aim of the course is to teach students how to conduct independent research from the beginning to the end.
Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • write a comprehensive research proposal from the beginning to the end.
  • search through the significant research databases that are necessary to conduct research in physics.
  • prepare and write their research proposal including all the necessary parts, such as the abstract, introduction, literature review and the research problem
  • explain the research techniques that will be used in their research proposal.
  • conduct the proposed research according to their proposals.
Course Description In this course, students will be introduced to methods of conducting research in physics, starting from literature review to writing a research proposal, including all the other necessary procedures.
