Study Guide

Objectives (course unit)

The objective of this course is to provide fundamental knowledge about spectrometry and chromatography. Upon completing the course, the student will:
• Understand the principles and terminology related to spectrometric and chromatographic methods.
• Be familiar with the structures and operating principles of spectrometric and chromatographic instruments.
• Perform calculations related to spectrometric and chromatographic analyses.
• Interpret analysis results.

Prerequisites (course unit)

• Laboratory Techniques and Safety
• Basics of Chemistry
• Basic Chemistry Lab Work 1 and 2

Assessment criteria, satisfactory (1-2) (course unit)

• The student recognizes the structures and operating principles of spectrometric and chromatographic instruments.
• Understands the principles and terminology of the methods.
• Calculates and interprets analysis results under guidance.

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

• The student can describe the structures and operating principles of spectrometric and chromatographic instruments.
• Demonstrates mastery of method principles and terminology.
• Accurately presents analysis results and can independently draw conclusions

Assessment criteria, excellent (5) (course unit)

•The student has a comprehensive understanding of spectrometric and chromatographic methods, including principles, equipment, and terminology.
• Precisely presents analysis results and can critically interpret and evaluate them in a versatile manner.

Exam schedules

Course exam
Retakes and grade improvements. The dates will be defined later and shown in the Moodle.
Retake 1: (retakes and improvements)
Retake 2: (only retakes)

The student has to pass the course exam to take part to the laboratory works.

The student can improve thte grade of passed course once in connection with the course retake examination.

Assessment methods and criteria

Evaluation is mainly according to the exam grad. Possibly also assignments that must be successfully completed in order to pass the course.
