Objective
After completion of the course the student has sufficient understanding of the most important concepts and phenomena in analytical and physical chemistry and is thus able to understand and solve relevant problems in his own study field, to apply this understanding as a necessary basis in later studies and to utilize it in future professional tasks.
Content
1. Analytical chemistry
- basics of sampling and sample treatment
- calibration methods
- introduction to instrumental analysis: overview of different techniques
2. Organic chemistry
- typical reactions and reactions mechanisms of functional groups
- the influence of functional groups on the properties of organic substances
- the properties and behaviour of the most important organic substances in relevant application fields
Evaluation scale
0-5
Assessment criteria, satisfactory (1)
The student is able to define and describe the concepts and phenomena included in the course in a qualitative way and to compute straightforward problems.
Assessment criteria, good (3)
The student is able to understand and define or describe the concepts and phenomena discussed in the course in his own words; he also knows how to explain the origin and meaning of related equations and to critically evaluate the solutions obtained when solving related chemical problems.
Assessment criteria, excellent (5)
The student is able to characterize and model phenomena discussed in the course on the basis of reasonable assumptions, as well as to analyze, evaluate and modify solutions for related chemical problems and the underlying model when needed.
Assessment criteria, approved/failed
The student is able to define and describe the concepts and phenomena included in the course in a qualitative way and to compute straightforward problems.
