Completion methods

The course can be completed by an exam and a requisite written scientific referate/synopsis. Please contact the lecturer.

Assessment details

The course is accepted if 50 % of maximum points in course exam is achieved

Learning outcomes

After the course the student know well the theoretical basics of modern analytical techniques and understand and also are able to correct the possible measurements errors and interferences included to the techniques. The student can also evaluate the suitability of analytical techniques for the sample type and can select the right one. Also the student can evaluate the performance of different analytical techniques and is able to produce methods for analyzing difficult sample types. The student can prepare scientific referate/synopsis from scientific research article and present it also orally. The student can give feedback to other student´s referate/synopsis.
