Briefing
The Chemistry course has a duration of one semester and consists of a combination of 5 online lectures, 5 in-person practical classes and 2 seminars.
During practical classes you will be required to carry out a range of various experiments and write a report on your findings, so familiarize yourself with the experiments you will be carrying out in your upcoming class. You will also need to bring a physical copy of your laboratory experiments to each class. Attendance is mandatory as you will be writing lab tests in each class, therefore you will have to make up for missed classes.
Depending on your professor more emphasis may be put on writing reports, while others may prefer classroom engagement to obtain the 3 points from your experiments, so prepare for both possibilities. In order to give yourself the best chance at getting an exemption it’s important to come well prepared for each lab test.
