| Aims |
The aim of those lectures is to introduce the basic concepts of general and inorganic chemistry for freshmen in medical and veterian students.
|
| Content |
The lecture content is described ahead. Classes are held orally twice a week (2x2h).
A training period of exercises wih numerical problems is offered every week to groups of students (about 20) in order to improve the understanding of the chemical principles.
Five to six laboratory sessions for pratical are organised with 40 to 50 students altogether.
Tutorials are planned weekly to answer indidually specific questions raised by a student.
