ECTS credit allocation (and other scores): 0 OR 2.00 (depends on study program) Basic information on ECTS credits allocation principles:
  • the annual hourly workload of the student’s work required to achieve the expected learning outcomes for a given stage is 1500-1800h, corresponding to 60 ECTS;
  • the student’s weekly hourly workload is 45 h;
  • 1 ECTS point corresponds to 25-30 hours of student work needed to achieve the assumed learning outcomes;
  • weekly student workload necessary to achieve the assumed learning outcomes allows to obtain 1.5 ECTS;
  • work required to pass the course, which has been assigned 3 ECTS, constitutes 10% of the semester student load.

U2: Analyzes the acquired knowledge of bioanalytics from various sources and is able to argue and defend his/her position.

U3: Acquires proficiency in performing calculations on the basis of data obtained from measurements by instrumental methods.

Learning outcomes - social competencies:

K1: Is aware of the threat posed by xenobiotics to all living organisms, makes independent and sometimes difficult decisions regarding the acquired knowledge; is able to independently search for information in popular scientific literature related to environmental chemistry.

K2: He has the ability to work independently and effectively with a large amount of information regarding the dangers of toxic substances in the environment, perceives the relationships between phenomena and correctly draws conclusions using the principles of logic.

K3: The student is oriented to continuous acquisition of new knowledge, skills and experience; sees the need for continuous improvement and enhancement of professional competence; knows the limitations of his own knowledge and understands the need for further education.
