Learning outcomes
Student explains methods of the formation of selected natural compounds in natural environment.
Student selects the conditions of synthesis and chemical transformations of the natural compound. He selects a method of isolation from a natural source, analyzes and evaluates its quality.
Assessment criteria
Lecture: written examination.
Laboratory: positive assessment of the preliminary tests and reports taking into account yields and purities of the obtained compounds and descriptions of experiments.
The final evaluation of the course is the sum of the assessment of the lecture exam (80 %) and the assessment of the laboratory (20 %).
Practical placement
Not applicable.
