The FPR-M is research-oriented. Students should acquire the ability to design, carry out, analyse, record and present sophisticated physical experiments and deepen their experience with modern measurement and evaluation methods in experimental physics.

The FPR-M has a scope of 9 CP. Of these, 2 CP are allocated to an accompanying seminar (see below) and 7 CP to 4 experiments, each comprising 3 experimental days of 8 hours each (Fridays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., for some experiments alternative dates are arranged for organisational reasons). The grades of the experiments are included in the final grade of the module with a combined weighting of 7/9.

If an experiment is carried out as part of the "Psychophysics, Neurosensorics and Auditory Signal Processing" block practical course, the block practical course can be combined with a 3 CP course from the specialisation module I or II in order to take account of the increased workload.

Currently only the block practical course: "Psychophysics, Neurosensory Science and Auditory Signal Processing" is offered (in February / March).

Accompanying the FPR-M, a seminar is held in which knowledge and skills for presenting the basics, implementation and results of physical experiments using multimedia tools are deepened.

The seminar is worth 2 CP. Regular participation in the seminar is compulsory; each participant must give a seminar presentation. The seminar grade is included in the final grade of the module with a weighting of 2/9.

The assignment of experiments and presentations takes place on the first date of the FPR-M seminar.

An overall grade is awarded for the FPR-M module, which is calculated as the weighted average of the individual grades of the 4 attempts and the seminar grade. The criteria for marking are here can be found here.

The following applies to the discontinued Diplom degree programme: One attempt in the FPR-M corresponds to one attempt in the FPR of the Diplom degree programme.
