-Exam (2. period)

Assessment criteria - fail (0) (Not in use, Look at the Assessment criteria above)

Student doesn't
-do the required exercises and labworks
-deliver the labreports on time
-take part in seminar
-doesn't pass the exam

Assessment criteria - satisfactory (1-2) (Not in use, Look at the Assessment criteria above)

The student is present in lesson to varying degrees. Student returns the incomplete tasks, and of late. With the exam and laboratorywork student shows the compotence with principles of chromatography; what is chormtography, terminology, and basic chromatographic methods. Student needs guidance for the laboratory works and reports.

Assessment criteria - good (3-4) (Not in use, Look at the Assessment criteria above)

The student participates in the theory lessons and know how to use theory in practical work. Student needs guidance now and then but mostly does his/her job independently. Student gives back written exercices and reports on time. The contents of them may vary a little bit. With the exam and laboratorywork student shows the compotence in principles of chromatography, different chromatographic methods and interpretation of results. The student takes responsibility for occupational safety and laboratory works.

Assessment criteria - excellent (5) (Not in use, Look at the Assessment criteria above)

The student is actively involved in lessons, making questions and participate in discussions. Student gives back the written exercises / reports on time. Task answers are well structured, and the matter has been thoroughly investigated. Student understands the factors affecting the chromatographic separation and is able to reflect on and develop his/her work. Wiht the exam and laboratorywork student shows the understanding of chromatographic methods and the things affecting to analysis and the student is capable to reflect and improve her/his working. Working in a laboratory goes well and student is also able to help other students.
