Learning activities and teaching methods
Monologic (reading, lecture, briefing), Dialogic (discussion, interview, brainstorming), Work with text (with textbook, with book)
Learning outcomes
The course provides a solid foundation and understanding of the basic principles and knowledge of general and inorganic chemistry. The challenge for students is their direction towards a new type of thinking, enthusiasm for new discoveries in chemistry and their guidance to the so-called "chemical thinking" with an emphasis on applications in the form of materials. The course will be conducted in the form of lectures and seminars.
basic knowledge of high school chemistry.
