Attendance
Attendance is strongly recommended for lessons, mandatory for laboratory experiencesType of evaluation
The evaluation will focus on the result of the oral exam; the exam will last approximately 30 minutes and two questions will be asked, one on classical analytical chemistry and one on instrumental analysis methods and advanced methodologies. In the evaluation of the exam, the determination of the final grade will take into account the level and quality of knowledge of the topics as well as the use of appropriate vocabulary for analytical chemistry. The quality of the written reports presented will also be taken into consideration. teacher profile teaching materials
