However, via course syllabus, it is possible to specify or change the course execution in each realization of the course, such as how the contact sessions are organized, assessment methods weighted or materials used.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

After the course, the student is expected to be able to (1) explain optical phenomena considered in the course and physical quantities describing them, (2) apply the key equations of the considered phenomena to solving related practical problems, (3) prepare and hold a lecture on any topic in optics, and (4) prepare and hold an exercise session.
