# This lecture course replaces "Electronic Materials" (Elmat)

# News
| All examination questions concerning "Optics" will be taken from the exercises (including multiple choice question) that can be found in this script prior to the exam. This includes questions that are not yet (May 25th 2011) part of the script. The script will be continuously updated.
| Part 1" was finished on May 25th. 2011
| May 12th is of course not a holiday as originally marked in the time table; it's June 2nd.
| Attention! Change of Rooms Wednesday lecture (and exercises) now in G-SR1

| General Information:
|  | This is a Required Course for the Master of Materials Science Study Course.
|  | The lecture course Advanced Mat. B starts in the summer term 2011 as part of the revised Master Study Course "Materials Science and Engineering".
|  | Following the demands of the accrediting agency "ASIIN", two former individual study courses were united into one module with 4 hours of lecturing and 2 hours of exercises. The two former study courses were "Electronic Materials" (Prof Föll) and "Ceramics and Glasses" (Prof. Quandt). The contents are shown below.
| The new lecture course "Advanced Materials B" differs in form and content.
| Form:
|  | The course will be taught in one term instead of two terms. "Advanced Materials B - part 1" (Prof. Föll) will be given in the first half of the term; "Advanced Materials B - part 2" (Prof. Quandt) in the second half (see below for details).
|  | There is one written examination at the beginning of the fall term (Oct. 2011)
| Content: While the bulk of the lecture course is identical to that of the old course, there are also major changes. Here is a list of the topics covered together with a tentative time table:

# Teaching Modules
| Lecture Course (Prof. H. Föll / Prof. E. Quandt)
|  | General: 4 SWS, 8 ECTS-Credits (including exercises).
|  | Time and Place Wednesday, 8:15 - 9:45, Room G - SR I. Thursday, 8:15 - 9:45, Room F - SR-I.
|  | Starting date: Wednesday, April 13th .
| Examination to Lecture Course
|  | There will be a written examination in the examination period fall 2011. Details will be given later.

| Exercises (Part 1: Enrique Quiroga-González; Part 2: NN)
|  | General: 2 SWS, No direct credit points, only in combination with the lecture.
|  | Time and Place: Wednesday, 10:00 - 10:45, Room G - SR I Thursday, 10:00 - 10:45, Room F - SR-I.
|  | Starting date: Wednesday, April 13th .
| Format of Exercises
|  | In contrast to the good old times, when exercises were seminar-style, exercise classes will now be with exercise sheets.
|  | Exercise sheets are given one week in advance and shall be solved by the students within this week, i.e. in advance to the exercise class! The solution is then discussed in the exercise class.
|  | In additon, about 6 multiple choice tests about the lecture and the exercise topics are held roughly every week during the semester to appraise your performance. Questions normally concern the topics of the last week prior to the test.
|  | The first exercise session will be used to discuss the details of the exercise proceedings with the supervisor.
| How to obtain credit points or a "Schein":
|  | You have to participate. This means there will be a participation list and you must not miss an exercise class more than twice. You must succesfully complete at least 4 of the 6 multiple choice questionaires.
|  | For exceptions, what to do if you expect that you might fail, or for anything else: Ask the supervisor!
|  | A guide to the Multiple Choice Tests (MCTs) can be found here.
