Second semester
Prerequisites for admission
Knowledge of the fundamentals of general and analytical chemistry is required. Knowledge of the basic principles of optics and electromagnetism can be useful.
Assessment methods and Criteria
The exam is divided into two written tests, one for each module.
For the Analytical Chemistry II module there is a questionnaire with 6 open-ended but short questions concerning the theoretical and applicative aspects of the analytical techniques covered in the course. The exam lasts 45 minutes. The final mark of this module will be decided on the basis of the coherence of the answers with each specific question.
For the Analytical Chemistry II Laboratory module there is a questionnaire of 6 open questions concerning, also in this case, the theoretical and applicative aspects of the analytical techniques covered in the course including data treatment and sample preparation; the exam duration is one hour and 15 minutes. For the final result, evaluations of laboratory practice reports will also be considered.
The results for each module, expressed in a scale from 1 to 30, are communicated on the corresponding Ariel sites. The final mark, expressed in a scale from 1 to 30, is communicated by means of the electronic service Vweb.
