|
Recommended or required readings :
|
||||||||
| Notes and copies of transparencies are available for the totality of the course.
Powerpoint slides are available in French and English These notes are accompanied with additional documents: one including exercises and one with the various laboratory experiments. Reference books: The students can obtain supplementary information, for instance in the excellent book: "ANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY" by SKOOG, WEST and HOLLER |
||||||||
|
Assessment methods and criteria :
|
||||||||
| The evaluation consists in an oral exam in june (one hour of written preparation followed by an oral discussion)
The distribution on the final score is as follows: 70% for the oral exam; 30% for the laboratory work. Note: if the score of the oral exam is below 10, the results obtained from the laboratory work are not taken into account in the final score. |
