    The goalStudents acquire knowledge on advanced techniques for determination of polymer properties both in solution and in solid state. Students are required to present a research study on some experimental method (seminar).
    The outcomeAfter the students fulfilled all the requirements and passed the exam, they are (i) capable of choosing a proper experimental technique for required measurements and to process the obtained data, (ii) they acquire comunicational and social skills neccessary for team work, and (iii) they are capable of clearly defining experimental problem, finding methods of solving it and of presenting obtained results.
