Requirements
In order to complete this course you will have to give a lecture about a given topic, make a set of exercise questions and answer a set of questions given by other students, and collect a thesaurus of terms during the course.
There will be no final exam. The given grade will be a sum of grading given by the lecturer and also by other students.
Assessment:
Lecture is assessed both by lecturer and by peers (=students), 50% weight.
Exercise is assessed both by lecturer and by peers (=students), 25% weight.
Each student collects a thesaurus of terms. Thesaurus will be shown to teachers 2-3 times during the course and must be returned at the end of the course, 25% weight.
Completion parts must belong to the same implementation
Learning outcomes
After finishing the course, the student is able to define what various mechanisms induce degradation of polymers and what can be done to prevent, slow down or control these processes. Student is also familiar with methods that can be used to evaluate degradation of polymers and is able to analyze and apply these results in practice.
