Attendance
Attendance is highly recommended for classes, mandatory for lab exercises. Attendance at lab exercises is checked by having students sign in and out.Type of evaluation
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.
