Entry knowledge
Knowledge of secondary school chemistry and basic mathematics.
Rules for evaluation and completion of the course
The laboratory notebook (control of preparation), report sheets, course-unit credit test.
The presence of students at practice is obligatory and is monitored by a tutor. The way how to compensate missed practice lessons will be decided by a tutor depending on the range and content of the missed lessons.
Aims
The goal is to provide students with an overview of basic safety rules work in the chemical laboratory, to acquaint students with basic tasks, teach students to work independently in a chemical laboratory with hazardous substances.
Obtaining skills and a practical knowledge of basic operations that are used in the chemical laboratory.
