Learning activities and teaching methods
Monologic Lecture(Interpretation, Training), Dialogic Lecture (Discussion, Dialog, Brainstorming)
  • Attendace - 26 hours per semester
  • Preparation for the Exam - 54 hours per semester
Learning outcomes
Theoretical as well as practical aspects of bioanalytical methods (methods that use biospecific interactions between molecules, or methods used in the biochemical laboratories) are introduced to students.
Students will be able to describe basic theoretical principles as well as practical aspects of bioanalytical techniques.
Prerequisites
The knowledge of basics of analytical chemistry is highly recommended.

Assessment methods and criteria
Written exam

The examination is done by a written test; minimally 60 % of points should be obtained for passing.
