Learning activities and teaching methods
Lecture, Dialogic Lecture (Discussion, Dialog, Brainstorming)
Learning outcomes
The lecture "NMR spectroscopy" is intended for the first-year students of the master's study of various chemical disciplines. It builds on the bachelor studies of chemistry with the aim to acquaint students with and help them understand the basic principles of nuclear magnetic resonance, instrumental equipment, and modern one- and multi-dimensional techniques of NMR measurements. Interpretation of NMR spectra is an integral part of this course.
Students have knowledge of basic concepts and laws of NMR spectroscopy. They describe the functions of NMR spectrometer and applications of this method in chemistry.
Prerequisites
Bachelor's degree in Chemistry (or related field of study).

Assessment methods and criteria
Written exam

The student must be able to answer the selected questions and pass the final test with a success rate of more than 70%.
