Content

General and inorganic chemistry
Basic chemical concepts and chemical reactions

Qualifications

None

Assessment criteria, satisfactory (1)

Exam
answers depend heavily on words and expressions found in the literature
has superficial knowledge of the subject, but shows a basic understanding of the subject

Written assignment
The student has partially followed the instructions for the written assignment. The student shows limited to a deficient knowledge of the knowledge of the substance.
