Subject aims expressed by acquired skills and competences
The course is focused on an overview of the basic methods of scientific research (basic and applied research, qualitative and quantitative), including systemic approach to scientific work. Furthermore, the subject includes the theory of measurement, processing and evaluation of the measured experimental data and measurement uncertainty. Emphasis is placed on understanding the logical construction of the experiment and the proper use of statistical methods in the measurement results.

Summary
The course is focused on an overview of the basic methods of scientific research (basic and applied research, qualitative and quantitative), including systemic approach to scientific work. Part of the course is focused on explanation of the theoretical principles of basic diffraction and imaging experimental methods used for materials study, and also advanced physical methods of imaging and chemical microanalysis.
