| AIM OF THE COURSE |
On completion of the course, the student should be able to:
- explain and use the most commonly used chemical and microbiological analytical techniques in environmental monitoring
- evaluate and critically review the possibilities and limitations of modern analytical techniques
- plan and carry out representative samplings and analyses of tests
- describe and analyse the principles that constitute the basis for quality assurance and accreditation of laboratories in the field of environmental analysis
|
| CONTENTS |
| The contents of the course consist of the theories behind, and practical application of, spectroscopic, chromatographic, wet-chemical, electrochemical and microbiological analytical techniques. Quality assurance procedures for chemical and biological analysis work constitute another part of the course. The importance of the sampling technique for the reliability of the analysis results is also an important part of the contents. |
| TEACHING |
| This course utilises work in tutorial group, lectures, seminars, workshops, laboratory sessions and field studies. Additional resource sessions may be organised in the course. Language of instruction: English. The students should also study independently. |
| EXAMINATION |
The course is examined through individual oral presentations, individual written work, written work carried out in groups, oral group presentations and public discussion on another student's work. A passing grade in the course also requires active participation in tutorial group meetings, seminars, laboratory work and other practical parts. Detailed information about the examination can be found in the courses study guide.
Students failing an exam covering either the entire course or part of the course two times are entitled to have a new examiner appointed for the reexamination.
Students who have passed an examination may not retake it in order to improve their grades. |
| ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS |
At least one year of full time undergraduate study in environment science or equivalent.
