Planned learning activities and teaching methods
The course uses teaching methods in form of Laboratory exercise - 3 teaching hours per week. The e-learning system (LMS Moodle) is available to teachers and students.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes
Working group gives one protocol form each practical task together. The classification is dependent on the average protocol level and also on the work during the exercises.

Aims
The course gives the practice knowledge in plasmachemistry background, plasma diagnostics and with selected plasmachemical applications and technologies, too.
Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences
Attendance is required and preparedness for independent working on the experiment is checked by teacher. Students work in small groups (usually two students).
