Teaching methods
The lectures will cover the general problematics related to laboratory activity: safety, language, design, data processing.The course also includes:- demonstrations of stechiometry problem solving and calculus- preliminary introduction and demonstration of laboratory exercises- practical laboratory exercises aimed at developing basic skills required to carry out laboratory activities. In the solution of such exercises, each student individually will have to design a practical solution to a problem specified at a theoretical level during the course lectures.
Assessment methods
Oral examination
Teaching tools
Blackboard; personal computer, video projector; didactic equipments of laboratory.
