Teaching methods

The course develops in 72 hours of frontal teaching: the students are guided to the understanting of the concepts of both chemometrics and voltammetry, potentiometry and sample treatment. The students must partecipate to the computer lessons.

Assessment methods and criteria

Written and oral examination to verify the acquisition of basic concepts of chemometrics for data elaboration and potentiometry ,voltammetry and sample treatment for the right choice of analytical methods
