Please note! Course description is confirmed for two academic years (1.8.2018-31.7.2020), which means that in general, e.g. Learning outcomes, assessment methods and key content stays unchanged. However, via course syllabus, it is possible to specify or change the course execution in each realization of the course, such as how the contact sessions are organized, assessment methods weighted or materials used.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
By the end of this class,
- You will learn about structure and properties of organic materials and devices, their functioning and properties, and field of applications.
- You will be capable of critically reading and understanding a scientific text, extrapolating main ideas, summarizing your readings and presenting your findings.
- You will be capable of delivering and assess clear scientific communication, including your own and your peers.
