Learning activities and teaching methods
Monologic (reading, lecture, briefing)
Learning outcomes

The participant who has completed the course is competent for work at research institutions and at companies whose business scope includes paints and organic coatings.
Prerequisites
Basic knowledge of macromolecular chemistry and chemistry of organic coatings.

Assessment methods and criteria
Oral examination, Written examination, Presentation

The examination is oral and follows a written test. In order to examine how they work during the semester, the students are required to deliver short presentations on selected topics. The outcome of the presentation is included in the student's overall classification.
