- Course objectives
- The aim of the subject is to: A. consolidate the knowledge of the topics presented in the frame of physical chemistry lectures; B. provide instructions on how to solve the typical computational exercises in physical chemistry; C. actively practice the computational skills of students, including both proposals how to solve the exercises and their implementation
- Learning outcomes
- Student will be able to: - to analyse the problems of calculations in physical chemistry; - apply the acquired knowledge in solving practical problems and questions in the field of physical chemistry; - propose and successfully implement the workflow for solving the calculations in physical chemistry; - accurately explain the used formulae; - to propose a method of teaching calculations in physical chemistry at secondary schools;

- Teaching methods
- calculatins of exercises, class discussion In case the COVID-19 measure does not allow contact teaching, the teaching method will be adjusted as follows: teaching will be 1) conducted online in the MS Teams program or 2) mediated through recorded seminars (commented electronic presentations) or 3) realized by assigning homework with feedback in the next seminar. If interested, the seminars will be supplemented by online consultations.
- Assessment methods
- During the semester, three tests of duration of about 15-20 minutes will be submitted to students. In each of the tests, 40% points must be scored. At the same time, it is necessary to obtain 50% of the total score from all 3 tests. Students have only writing tools available to complete the tests. In case the COVID-19 measure does not allow contact teaching, the method of assessment will be adjusted as follows: students will be given homework (a set of tasks). After its proper elaboration, a credit will be awarded.
