Learning activities and teaching methods
Monologic (reading, lecture, briefing)
Learning outcomes
To learn how to plan and perform an experiment using available literature, with regard to legislative limits, available laboratory equipment, possible services and economic possibilities.
After completing the course, the student is able to orientate in the environmental problem, propose an attempt to clarify the context or solution in the given problem and evaluate the relevance of the obtained data.
Prerequisites
Basic knowledge of chemistry and orientation in environmental legislation is required.

Assessment methods and criteria
Self project defence

The acquired knowledge and orientation in the subject will be evaluated on the basis of the defense of the semester work.
