Teaching methods
Laboratory course covering preparations of selected inorganic compounds and keeping of the lab notebook.
Assessment methods
Graded credits are awarded if: (1) synthesized products are submitted in reasonable yields and purity; (2) laboratory reports to all exercises are submitted and approved by the teacher; (3) student can show an understanding of each completed laboratory exercise and related principles and calculations (stoichiometry, concentrations, titrations) and knowledge of properties of prepared compounds. Periodical check-up of knowledges by written tests.
Language of instruction
