Teaching methods
Students work individually and process their own sample. The results of experiments have to be summarized and evaluated in protocols. The protocols are prepared in accordance (information v the first practise and lecture). In the protocols students describe, compare, analyze, evaluated and discuss own results.
Assessment methods
The course is closed by a course-unit credit. The students obtain their credits for active attendance at the course and for the preparation of protocols
