    The learning process in this course will be facilitated by different activities:

    1. Lessons on MyCourses: Three topical Lessons to get familiar with the topic and theoretical frame. Done individually, this is a graded item, up to 3 course points.
    2. Two lectures : Two lectures about the methods and theory in connection with lab work. Highly recommended to get a good start for your lab work. Tue Oct. 24 in zoom; Thu Oct. 26 in Platinium - C104 (Circular Raw Materials Hub, Vuorimiehentie 2).
    3. *Lab case studies (5) in CHEM teaching lab and MyCourses assignments: Graded MyCourses assignments related to the lab cases, both before and after the lab. These assignments are worth up to 15 course points in total.
    4. *Lab journal is for documenting your lab work, graded up to 15 course points.
    5. Excel Gym (session on Nov. 2) is for working out data treatment with spreadsheets, graded up to 2 course points.
    6. Café Data is for discussions and to help in processing your lab data into results.
    7. *Lab report: The Case 5 lab is summarized into a lab report, done with your lab workpair. This is a graded item, up to 13 course points. Pass threshold for report 5 course points.
    8. Calculation exercise on MyCourses: One exercise on chemical problems, mainly calculations. The solutions are submitted individually online, this is a graded item, up to 2 course points.
    Mandatory (*): Pre- and post-lab assignments, doing the lab cases in the lab, lab journal, and lab report.

    Course assessment (1-5) is based on maximum of 50 course points.
