实验谱学课程大纲

（根据实际教学情况会可能做部分调整）

Courseattribute: specialized course advanced II (专业进阶II课程)

Course Objectives:

Guide the students to

- Broaden the knowledge domain to fields related to all spectroscopy and make a deep understanding of its main principles:

1. The history of spectroscopy

2. Most important Light sources, spectrometers and detectors in spectroscopy and their principle.

3. Some typical examples and recently highly interested scientific research issues of spectroscopy.

- Understand that spectroscopy was the one greatly drove the development of physics by its contribution to new methods of observation, and find out how to apply spectroscopy to solve current problems.

Course Requirements

It is recommended that the lecture of “atomic physics” should be learned as a prerequisite.

To appraise the study of this course, several aspects of evaluation of students will be considered. Usually the following ones will be included:

Good attendance and daily performance during each lecture.

Complete all homework well and have a good performance in the regular discussion.

Finish the spectra observation practice and the report.

Fine accomplishment of the final presentation

(Presentation will be the form of the final examination.)

Grading and more details:

Attendance and daily performance10%

Assignments/homework30%

Practice/experiments30%

Final presentation30%

Attendance and daily performance

No-show for 1 time will lose 1%, and 2 times for 3% and 3 times for 5%.

A good daily performance will gain 5%, while the worst will gain 0%.

Assignments/homework

There will be 6 assignments, and each will include several questions. 5% for a perfect accomplishment while 0% for none.

Practice/experiment

There will be 6 practices or experiments. A good execution and nice report will gain 5% for each.

Final presentation

An oral presentation will be required as the final examination. Many aspects such as documents comprehension, material organization, PowerPoint arrangement, oral speaking skill, and reaction to questions will be considered for evaluation. In total, 30% will be included in this evaluation.
