Campus / Online:Taught campus Ås
Teaching language:Norsk
Limits of class size:There is room for 8 laboratory sessions per week, with a maximum of 48 students per session. This can be expanded to 10 lab session in extraordinary cases.
Course frequency:Annually
Nominal workload: 250 hours distributed as follows:
Teaching and exam period:This course starts in Spring parallel. This course has teaching/evaluation in Spring parallel.
About this course
Lectures throughout the entire semester. Laboratory exercises including quiz (compulsory). Guidance is offered by teaching assistants on laboratory reports and calculation exercises. Students will be trained in health, safety and environment (HSE) in the laboratory.
Learning outcome
Students will understand basic chemical principles and reactions. They will be able to name simple chemical compounds and judge the physical and chemical properties of the substances based on their structure. Students will be able to conduct simple laboratory experiments and report and evaluate the results. The course gives a foundation for further study of chemistry and other natural sciences.
