Learning outcomes: Knowledge: Student knows methods of chemical and instrumental analysis Student knows methods and analytical techniques used in the laboratory Student knows rules for processing of biological material Skills: Student is able to use the spectroscopic and optical methods commonly used in analytical laboratory Student can evaluate the factors affecting the results of laboratory tests, avoiding before and post analytical mistakes Student interprets the results of the laboratory tests on the basis of the standards and reference values Social competences: Student demonstrates responsibility for an assessment of the hazards arising from research techniques and shows attention to creating safe work conditions
Assessment methods and assessment criteria: Students with positive note from exercises are obligate to pass written test (open test, 3 questions, 3 points per Q, the threshold to pass - 4,5 points, test duration 60 min.) concerning the content of lectures (W1- W3) . If the test is not passed in the first term, the student has to pass it again during exam period on the same conditions as in the first term.
