Assessment criteria, good (3-4) (course unit)

In addition. The student shows that he / she understands the function of the instruments and the importance of the instrument parameters and analysis conditions. He / she presents the analysis results with the correct accuracy and is able to interpret the results and make conclusions.
The student's assignments and reports are well structured, done according the instructions and show good knowledge of the subject. He / she is able to plan and schedule his / her work. The student takes responsibility for the laboratory work.

Assessment criteria, excellent (5) (course unit)

In addition. Student is capable of self-directed and well-planned working. The student has a good overview of the subject. He / she is able to evaluate the suitability of spectrometric methods and sources of errors. The student is able to interpret the results in a versatile and critical manner and assess their reliability and evaluate their reliability. Student is able to report the results with expertise and compare them to literature. The student is capable of working in a group in a targed-oriented manner, and is able to organise the laboratory work.

Exam schedules

Course exam
Retakes and grade improvements. The dates will be defined later.
