Learning activities and teaching methods
Laboratory work
Learning outcomes
The aim of this course is to acquaint students with modern laboratory methods of inorganic and organic instrumental analysis, that may be encountered in practice. Laboratory is equipped with appropriate instrumentation for processing and analyzing of samples and computers for collecting and evaluating experimental data.
Students will be able to solve real problems in analytical laboratory equipped with modern instrumental apparatuses.
Prerequisites
Knowledges of analytical, physical (and organic) chemistry on the bachelor degree level.

Assessment methods and criteria
Written examination, Student performance assessment

Preparation, analysis results, protocol, written exam.
