Course objectives
The goal of the course is unification of secondary school knowledge in general, inorganic and organic chemistry, and necessary extension of secondary school knowledge.
Learning outcomes
After completing the course, the student will acquire knowledge in basic chemical disciplines - general, inorganic and organic chemistry and will be able to summarize their interrelationships. Students will use the acquired knowledge in further studies focused on measuring and monitoring of environmental quality indicators.
