Assessment criteria
Lecture
The basis for passing the exam will be to write an examination paper on the topic chosen by the student.
The assessment will be: knowledge of the basic sections of nanochemistry, its development and importance for the progress of science, skills in the field of material production, knowledge of the relationship between a chemical compound and the technological process leading to its obtaining, including product quality control and waste management; knowledge in the field enabling the creation and development of economic activities related to the production of chemical substances and their processing; knowledge of the theoretical basis of various analytical methods and their use in the analysis of nanomaterials.
Laboratory classes
Completion of the exercise will be based on a report describing the results obtained during the laboratory classes. The report (in English) will consist of the theoretical part, the descriptive part and the interpretation of the results obtained during the classes.
Reports on the performance of the laboratory task will be assessed on a scale of 0-10 points. The final grade for passing the Laboratory will be issued on the basis of the sum of points collected during the implementation of 6 exercises.
