Teaching Method
- Training phase: 50 hours, including 50 hours tutorials
The entire course is laboratory exercises. The students will mainly perform demonstration experiments but also some student experiments.
The experiments are the topics that are in the curriculum in high school. The students get feedback from the teacher and the other students.In the study phase the students are supposed to prepare for the demonstration experiments and later for the oral examination.
In the skills training phase the students works with performance and presentation of chemical experiments for teaching. The students comment on each other’s presentation.
