Course Objectives This course contains knowledge how to understand the role of theoretical and experimental physics, how to research in physics, how to design experiment and how to use statistical and mathematical methods appropriate to its design. The most basic aim of this course to teach students to conduct independent research from the beginning to the end. This course is also covers accessing and using physics databases, gaining experience proposing and conducting your own physics research and learning how to write a scientific report in format of a physics research journal.
Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • Will be to write a complete research proposal.
  • Will able to write an Abstract; a well formulated Introduction Section which reviews the relevant literature of the relationships between the constructs to be studied, builds a logical argument for the study, and clearly develops the rationale for each of the explicitly stated (directional) hypotheses and research questions.
  • Method Section and application of research in details will be able to write.
  • Will able to write a Reference Section according to physics journal style.
  • Will able to report Appendices as needed for supporting material.
  • Will able to give 20 minutes’ aural presentation on the research
  • Will able to prepare a poster presentation on the format of Turkish Physical Society Congress
Course Description It is aimed to introduce conducting a physics research from literature review to writing a research proposal with necessary other procedure that is needed.
