Learning activities and teaching methods
Monologic (reading, lecture, briefing), Laboratory
  • Class attendance - 8 hours per semester
  • Preparation for exam - 112 hours per semester
Learning outcomes
The lectures cover the introduction to analytical chemistry and fundamentals of quantitative and qualitative analytical chemistry. During the laboratory exercises the student should acquire basic laboratory-analytical skills.
Students will be able to understand the principles of analytical techniques, they will be also able to assess the possibilities and usefullness of respective methods. They will learn the communication with specialists in analytical chemistry.
Prerequisites
No
