Chemistry course covers 1 semester and 45 didactic hours.
Frontal lectures (15 h per semester) are in weekly intervals during 8 consecutive weeks 2 h each and cover selected topics necessary to follow biochemistry course.
Practical classes (30 h per semester) are obligatory and are in weekly intervals during 10 consecutive weeks 3 h each. Students carry on chemical experiments by their own. Students should be prepared for coming class.
Detailed rules of laboratory classes and work safety are available on web page and will be described during the first class. White coat is required for practical classes.
Lectures are held in Lecture hall A – Collegium Veterinarium
Practicals are held in laboratory no 120 – Collegium Veterinarium
Person responsible for Chemistry:
Dr Witold Kędzierski – Collegium Veterinarium, room no 426 (2nd floor)
