Teaching method

Theoretical classes will be in the laboratory in contact with the equipment. Pratical classes will use chromatographic equipment and sample preparation tools. The students will present their results in the final of the semestre - oral presentation.

Evaluation method

Classes attendance is an obligation.

Final classification is the average of: 1) oral presentation of the practical work and 2) theoretical evaluation.
