Teaching methods

Teaching methods giving: 1. information lecture (conventional) with the use of multimedia presentations. Teaching methods seeking: laboratory: laboratory – laboratory classes are related to the curriculum content processed during the lecture. The student performs the tasks independently after preparation based on the available instruction and recommended literature. Based on the observations made and the results of measurements, the student writes down the relevant reaction equations, performs calculations and draws conclusions.
