As part of the Competency-Based Approach, students will be trained in the following critical skills.
Modelling a phenomenon in physics
The student will be confronted with various nuclear physics models, which are relatively simple, but which make it possible to explain numerous properties of nuclei. They will take part in the development of these models, in particular by drawing on analogies with physics concepts covered elsewhere. They will need to understand each model, and correctly grasp the limits and complementarities between them.
At the end of the course, students will be able to:
The practical sessions (TD) associated with this course are supervised by a teaching assistant and aim to apply the theoretical concepts covered in class through the analysis of concrete cases and real-world applications.
These sessions focus in particular on:
Lecture and exercises
The assessment for this course unit takes place during the exam session, in the form of an open-book oral exam. Each student is given preparation time to answer two open-ended questions, drawn at random, which they then present orally. These questions are designed to evaluate the student’s understanding of the fundamental concepts covered in the course, as well as their ability to apply them meaningfully to real-world situations.
Emphasis is placed on the clarity of reasoning, the ability to connect the various models studied, and the scientific rigor of the argumentation. This is a single, joint examination conducted by the instructors responsible for both the theoretical lectures and the practical sessions.
