Teaching methods
Education is performed as lectures with PowerPoint presentation and a few video recording. Understanding of principles of analytical methods, measurements, data evaluate and the use in practical analysis is emphasized.
Assessment methods
Final assessment (at the end of semester) is by written examination. It is not test but 35 questions, which frequently require description, explanation or schematization of asked topic. Questions include also computations and have points according to their difficulty.
Language of instruction
Czech
