For information on the duration of the modul, refer to the courses of study in which the module is used.
After completing the lab course, the students are familiar with basic and advanced laboratory techniques for chemical synthesis and the isolation of compounds, and they can apply these safely. They are capable of independently preparing and successfully conducting simple and advanced syntheses, using standard primary literature for organic syntheses as a basis. They have recognized that their individual actions can influence the ecological footprint of the module and have developed strategies to minimize their impact. They are able to identify products and determine their purity using various methods, while also being aware of the significance of the detection limit of analytical methods and their method-dependent nature. The students can describe the experiment in a meaningful way, following the style of a scientific publication.
The module includes experiments aimed at acquiring practical experience in the laboratory. The selection of experiments is made individually based on the students' prior knowledge.

Module structure: 1 uPr 1
The portfolio of scientific experiments comprises 7-10 experiments, the elements of which are examined during the course. The examination components of an experiment are basically the following four elements, which are completed one after the other:
1. review of prior knowledge including safety-relevant aspects
2. carrying out the experiment and recording the execution, observations and results
3. preparation of a written experiment protocol or an oral presentation of the results
4. discussion of the experimental protocol, the results and the theory of the experiment (final examination)
Subsequent elements of the experiment can only be started if the previous elements have been passed. In the case of individual experiments, individual elements may be omitted or, in relation to point 2, replaced by theorised elements after appropriate notification, provided that the learning objectives associated with the experiment are thereby achieved. An attempt is passed if all four elements have been completed and fulfil the requirements despite existing deficiencies.
If an element of an attempt is not passed, there are two options:
a) The entire attempt can be repeated or
b) individual elements can be repeated if elements have already been assessed as "passed" and individual learning objectives of the attempt have therefore been achieved.
This is decided by the person authorised to conduct the examination.
The attempt or individual elements of an attempt can be repeated a maximum of once in this way. A total of two attempts per practical course and portfolio can be repeated in the aforementioned sense.
