Please note! Course description is confirmed for two academic years, 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

After the course the student will be able to

- Describe the theoretical basis of currently important instrumental analysis methods excluding electroanalytical methods.

- Describe the functional components of the instrument/instruments used in the method

- Select suitable methods on the basis of the actual needs (i.e. allowed costs, precision, detection limit, calibration range).

- Find and read basic scientific literature on a given topic related to the novel developments of selected method/method group.

FURTHER INFORMATION

Further Information

  • valid for whole curriculum period:

    It is possible that we must still apply only remote teaching due to the continuously emerging new dangerous COVID 19 virus variants. Alternatively, flipped teaching is applied: The two weekly remote lectures are taken as homework and the third weekly face-to-face lecture is used for questions/discussion on the week's topics. In this way we can minimize the amount of contact teaching promoting transmissions of old and new COVID 19 virus variants and, importantly,  it is presently regarded that flipped teaching increases considerably the effectiveness and interactivity of learning. If only remote teaching can be applied, students can ask public questions which will be anonymously visible in the MyCourses or they can ask private questions which are not shown to other course participants and are only answered directly to the asker.
