Monologic (reading, lecture, briefing), Dialogic (discussion, interview, brainstorming), Work with text (with textbook, with book), Methods of individual activities, Skills training
Learning outcomes
The aim of this subject is to provide students with theoretical and mathematical principles needful for orientation in commonly used statistical characteristics. Emphasis is mainly put on practical skills, i.e. on encompassment of experimental data processing using Excel and on subsequent interpretation and presentation of results.
Student is after fulfillment of this subject able to orientate himself properly in basic statistical characteristics and to use appropriate basic statistical methods of experimental data processing mainly using Excel. He is competent to design and to carry out appropriate ways to get data, their processing, analyze, interpretation and presentation of results considering practice in chemical enterprise or laboratory.
Prerequisites
Knowledge in mathematics taught within the bachelor study is needed for study of the subject.

Assessment methods and criteria
Oral examination, Written examination, Home assignment evaluation

Exam has two parts - written with computer and oral one. Level of acquired knowledge, approaches, as well as skill in practice application is examined. The results from current test are considered as a part of final classification.
