Learning Outcomes
Competences
After successful completion of the exercise course, students are able to independently apply the content of the lecture “Physik für Molekulare Biowissenschaften” to concrete physics problems. They can develop structured solution approaches, present results clearly, and discuss them in a scientific context.
Skills Knowledge
Students acquire the following skills:

  • Independent work on and solution of physics exercise problems (k2)
  • Application of basic probability theory and statistics (k3)
  • Calculation and interpretation of thermodynamic quantities such as energy, heat, and entropy (k3)
  • Solving problems related to idealized thermodynamic systems (e.g. ideal gas, polymer chains) (k4)
  • Analysis of thermodynamic cycles, mixing processes, and heat conduction (k3)
  • Clear presentation and discussion of solution strategies (k5, k6)
Upon completion of the exercise course, students have advanced knowledge of:

  • Practical application of the physical concepts covered in the lecture
  • Basic probability theory and statistics at an applied level
  • Thermodynamics of macroscopic systems

Physical models of heat engines, mixing, and transport processes

Criteria for evaluation Assessment is based on submission of written solutions, as well as active participation in the exercise sessions (e.g. contributions, presentation, and discussion of solution approaches). Evaluation focuses on correctness, clarity of reasoning, and understanding of the underlying physical concepts.
Methods Students work on exercise problems independently, present selected solutions, and discuss them with the group. The course is designed to be complementary to the lecture “Physik für Molekulare Biowissenschaften“, and supports consolidation and deeper understanding of the lecture content through active problem-solving.
