Undergraduate module, Aberystwyth University, 2023
This module provided an in-depth treatment of the physics of the solar atmosphere and heliosphere, including coupling between the solar wind and non-magnetised objects.
Undergraduate module, Aberystwyth University, 2023
The module presented core topics in Physical Sciences degree schemes and their applications. It comprised of three main parts. The first part covered translational, rotational and oscillatory motion. The second part introduced waves and the behaviour of light. Thermal physics on macroscopic and atomic scales was considered in the final section.
Undergraduate module, Aberystwyth University, 2020
This laboratory module gave an introduction to experimental practices in the physical sciences. Emphasis was placed on the training of students to use basic instruments, perform simple error calculations, and critically assess results in order to draw reliable conclusions. Experiments were designed to reflect theoretical topics covered in other modules - hence included experiments covering properties of matter, forces, mechanics, electricity, magnetism, and electronics. Presentational skills were also developed in the context of experiments.
Undergraduate module, Aberystwyth University, 2019
This module introduced undergraduates to laboratory practice in key areas of the physical sciences, which can be used to understand the world around us. Emphasis was placed on accuracy of note-taking. Undergraduates were expected to keep a laboratory diary as they conducted the experiments. In addition to the notes kept in the diary, students were expected to write up two of the experiments as formal reports, including background research into the topics. In addition to this, in the second semester, students were introduced to ways of capturing and presenting data using electronic devices and computer packages.
