Learning activities and teaching methods
Monologic (reading, lecture, briefing), Demonstration, Skills training
Learning outcomes
The aim of this course is to acquaint students with the equipments, processes and problems occurring in the organic technology, which are then developed in the examples of specific production.
After completion of the course the student knows the basic principles of technology and understands the context of each chemical engineering operations.
Prerequisites
Organic Chemistry I, Chemical engineering I.

Assessment methods and criteria
Home assignment evaluation, Discussion

There is an oral examination. Primary form of exam is the debate about selected themes. Level of acquired knowledge, conceptions and application acquirements is examined.
