For information on the duration of the modul, refer to the courses of study in which the module is used.
In this module, students acquire basic knowledge of environmental analysis for the relevant environmental compartments water (hydrosphere), soil (pedosphere) and air (atmosphere). Students will be able to apply modern analytical methods and sample preparation techniques as well as understand standardised and standardised procedures in theory and carry them out in practice. They can analyse and classify the measured values obtained on the basis of the quality and errors in the experimental methods and evaluate them by comparing them with legally defined limit values. This enables students to interpret and critically evaluate the published measured values from standard measuring stations and special, more detailed measurements.
This module teaches the theoretical principles and practical implementation of environmental analysis methods used in the different environmental compartments of water (hydrosphere), soil (pedosphere) and air (atmosphere). Practical activities include process steps from sampling to obtaining analytical information, as well as the qualitative and quantitative evaluation of measurement results.

Module structure: 1 uPr 1
The portfolio of scientific experiments comprises 6-9 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.
