| COURSE DESCRIPTION |
Course objectives |
The basic objective of the course is the application of analytical methods and techniques in environmental analysis. |
Course enrolment requirements and entry competences required for the course |
Gateways must have a good basic knowledge of analytical chemistry, physical chemistry, organic chemistry, but are not necessary to master the material.. |
Learning outcomes expected at the level of the course (4 to 10 learning outcomes) |
After course students will be able to :
1. to know and explain the interactions that occur between different phases in the environment (water-to-air, ground-to-air, water-soil)
2. independently sampling plan (accidentally uozkovanje, stratified sampling, systematic sampling, intuitive sampling)
3. to sample (air, water, soil, sediment and biological samples).
4. prepare samples for analysis, use of modern methods of sample preparation
5. Use a variety of techniques for environmental analysis (classical methods, instrumental methods, the technique, other techniques.
6. exert biological control (environmental indicators, biomarkers)
7. process the results of analysis |

Grading and evaluating student work in class and at the final exam |
During the semester, the two partial test to check if the knowledge of students from courses included material. During the semester students will be selected from the lecture topic to make a seminar that will affect the final grade. After completion of the semester, students take a written exam courses included material from the seminar. If the student meets at one of the partial tests during the semester, material from passing the test does not need to take the written exam. After passing the written part of the exam, the oral exam. Prior to joining the laboratory exercises, students’ knowledge of material from the respective exercise will be verified by tests. All exercises must be passed all preliminary exams and completed. The student has the right to exercise fail one exercise, but you will catch up at the end of the semester. For all aspects of teaching evaluation will be conducted according to the following criteria: <55% inadequate; 55% -65% is sufficient; 66% -75% good; 76% -85% very good;> 86% excellent. The final grade will be the arithmetic average of ratings from exercises, written assessment and oral examination. |
