Learning outcomes
|
The aim of the course is to deepen and expand theoretical knowledge in the field of chemistry. The laboratory tasks are focused on linking this knowledge with restoration practice. Throughout the course, students will acquire practical skills such as working in a laboratory and using microscopic techniques. Writing the laboratory report will serve as preparation for writing other written works, including final theses.
Students get practical experience of basic chemistry conected with materials and methods commonly used in conservation profession. Students obtain basic knowledge in the field of chemical technology of monument conservation. In addition to, students obtain experience with written documents.
