Learning outcomes
A main goal of these lectures is to help students of the agriculture understand basic principles influencing chemical processes and properties of the elements and compounds, and also introduce them to the basic analytical principles and methods. It provides the theoretical building blocks for next study of the science. The aim of the laboratory practicum is to obtain basic knowledge and good handy of the students for the next study and independent work in chemical laboratory.
Ability to comunicate with inorganic and analytical chemistry workplaces, to understand results; to use the knowledge from inorganic and analytical chemistry for working in laboratory; to apply knowledge in other chemical and related disciplines.
Prerequisites
Secondary school chemistry.

Assessment methods and criteria
Combined exam, Test, Interim evaluation

Comprehend of the basic knowledge from general, anorganic and analytical chemistry necessary for understanding following chemistry field.
