Atom and Radiation Physics
Practice course: We will solve example question on every important calculation. You will be responsible on first
9 chapter (maybe 8).
Homeworks :You will have some homeworks. Deadlines are important. Homeworks after deadlines are
not accepted.
Effect of homeworks on your final score? ➔ Let say 38 is passing score. You got 36 and solved your
HW, you may pass.
Announcements: Check HADİ. You will find important updates+ presentations
