Teaching methods
Education is performed as lectures with PowerPoint presentation and a few video recording. Understanding of principles of analytical methods, measurements, data evaluate and the use in practical analysis is emphasized.
Assessment methods
Final assessment (at the end of semester) is by written examination. It is not test but 30 questions, which frequently require description, explanation or schematization of asked topic. Questions have points according to their difficulty. During the semester, students have to accomplish assigned computations and tests.
Language of instruction
Czech
