Language of instruction

Czech

Number of ECTS credits

3

Mode of study

Not applicable.

Learning outcomes of the course unit

Students obtain practice knowledge with plasmachemistry background, plasma diagnostics and with selected plasmachemical applications and technologies in laboratory scale, too.

Prerequisites

Practice couses from inorganic and physical chemistry and practical course from physics.

Co-requisites

Not applicable.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

The course uses teaching methods in form of Laboratory exercise - 3 teaching hours per week. The e-learning system (LMS Moodle) is available to teachers and students.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

Working group gives one protocol form each practical task together. The classification is dependent on the average protocol level and also on the work during the exercises.

Course curriculum

Aims

The course gives the practice knowledge in plasmachemistry background, plasma diagnostics and with selected plasmachemical applications and technologies, too.

Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences

Attendance is required and preparedness for independent working on the experiment is checked by teacher. Students work in small groups (usually two students).
