Objective
You know how to process air and biological samples in the laboratory and in the field. You are familiar with the most common standard methods and analyses of air and biological samples. You are able to carry out basic laboratory tests and analyses. You are able to produce environmental data out of air and biological samples and you know how to assess the reliability of the data. You understand the importance of reliable data and how this data is used outside laboratory to make environmental decisions. You understand the differences between the laboratory and the field assays.
Content
How to analyse air and biological samples?
What are standard laboratory protocols and how are they used?
How to produce reliable data out of air and biological samples?
How to assess and improve the reliability of the data?
What are the differences between field and laboratory assays?
Course material
The lab activities information, and more materials are provided via Learn platform of the course.
Study forms and methods
The course is conducted in the form of contact teaching with Scheduled Track. The students need to participate in the classroom and lab activities where Microbiology and Life Cycle Assessment topics are discussed and practiced together in accordance with the schedule.
There are no possibilities for distance learning.
RDI and work-related cooperation
Not Applicable
Timing of exams and assignments
There will be mandatory research assignments with deadlines ranging between two to three weeks for the microbiology part. For the Life Cycle Assessment part, there will be practice assignments and final exam at the end of the course. The Microbiology part will consist 70% of weightage and the Life Cycle Assessment part will consist 30% of weightage for the entire course.
International cooperation
The course will be conducted in collaboration with a visiting lecturer from a partner university of Germany.
