None |
Learning outcomes expected at the level of the course (4 to 10 learning outcomes) |
After passing the exam the student is expected to know:
- Rules of conduct and work in the chemistry lab
- Basic hazards in a chemistry lab
- Ways of marking substance, meaning chemical Card (data on physico-chemical, physiological and toxicological properties of the substance)
- Assessment of the potential dangers of certain chemicals and working with the apparatuses and methods of protection at work |
Course content broken down in detail by weekly class schedule (syllabus) |
1st week: an introductory lecture, legislation, codes of conduct in the laboratory
2nd week: the security apparatus in the chemistry lab
3rd week: safety and physico- chemical properties of the substance
4th week: Classification of substances with similar properties and functional groups
5th week: labeling - labels , graphic symbols , diamond hazard label when transporting
6th week: effect of pollutants on human health - basic concepts of toxicology and physiological properties of the substance, MAC, LD50
7th week: effect of pollutants on human health - division and features matter to the physiological properties
8th week: assessment (first colloquium);
9th week: burning processes and fire danger
10th week: appliances and equipment for fire fighting
11th week: Model Fire Extinguishers
12th week: types of harmful atmosphere and breathing apparatus
13th week: protection of electricity
14th week: dangerous products - the formation, classification according to UN figures, storage, recycling and waste
15th week: assessment (2nd colloquium).
Laboratory exercises:
Exercise 1 Stability of the alkali metal

Grading and evaluating student work in class and at the final exam |
Continuous evaluation:
The entire test can be applied over two exams during the semester. Passing threshold is 60 %. Each colloquium in assessing participates with 35 %. Laboratory exercises participate in the evaluation of 20 %. The presence of lectures in 80-100 % amount is 10 % of the grade.
Final evaluation:
Students who have passed the preliminary one, it is recognized as part of the exam and a 35 % score. The remaining part is laid in the regular examination period.
Students who have not passed any preliminary examination, written examination in the regular examination period laid the whole subject matter. Passing threshold is 60 %, and a written examination form to participate in the evaluation by 80 %. Laboratory work involved in assessing the proportion of 20 %.
Rating: sufficient (60-70 %), good (71-80 %), very good (81-90 %), excellent (91-100 %). |
