Teaching methods
Teaching method: in part, theoretical teaching except exceptional sanitary measures, as well as group work of students and reverse classes.
Evaluation methods
Evaluation by a written exam (unless exception) and exercises
Other information
The basic principles of analytical methods are not addressed in this EU. These concepts are widely discussed in the BAC EU (e.g. WFARM1243, WFARM1312, WFARM1219). Students are strongly encouraged to review the course materials if they find weaknesses in their bachelor's degree training.
